We LOVE using search Scene for our homeschool/virtual schooling. My daughter loves that she is doing her small part to help the environment and we get the best legitimate recommendations for things that we look up!

Why not help the environment while you are using the internet! It is a no brainer. Do it!

Great search engine that has gorgeous backdrops, and reliable search results. Occasionally I will ask it to look the term up on Google if I don't like the results, but they are pretty good. I am impressed that this little change can add up to make a real difference in the world!
