  1. Ask seems to be doing well. Its cool how buildings now use zero carbon emissions. Thanks Ask.com for becoming eco friendly.

  2. The more large-scale technology facilities make the eco-conscious choice to maybe spend a bit more money but leave an infinitely smaller carbon footprint, the better. Doesn’t make me want to leave google behind in favor of ask, but it certainly is worth the applause.
