Stumbleupon to turn thumbs into trees on Earth Day

stumbleupon_collage.jpgDo you use stumbleupon? If so, you can skip straight to the bit after the jump, and await further instructions.

If not, all you need to know is that it's a rather nifty internet tool that we all swear by here at Shiny Towers. You install a toolbar, which sits discreetly in your browser, tell it what your interests are and it generates sites it thinks you'll like via a 'stumble button'. Some of the time, Stumbleupon gets it absolutely right, and you can confirm this by clicking a 'thumbs up' button. Other times, it misses the mark completely and gives you a site you wouldn't be seen dead reading. That's right: you let it know with a 'thumbs down'. So how will all this help the environment?

[Via Ecorazzi]

On Earth Day (22nd April), Stumbleupon will be turning your clicks into trees, so if you've not used the tool for a while, get stumbling next tuesday and give plenty of thumbs up to sites that do good in the world like, I dunno...treehugger, Ecofriend and of course hippyshopper! Alternatively, you could 'boycott' a few sites of companies you object to on ethical grounds by giving them the thumbs down. Either way, you'll be doing the world a favour!
