Opening 60,599,541 Chrome Tabs for $1,000,000
Earlier this month, Google pledged that it would donate money for every Chrome tab opened. The program ran from December 15 through to December 19 and it was capped at $1 million. Thanks to everyone's tabulous efforts, the cap was hit.
The program pledged to donate money to charity based on how many tabs opened during the day.
10 tabs = 1 tree planted
10 tabs = 1 book published and donated
25 tabs = 1 vaccination treatment provided
100 tabs = 1 square foot of shelter built
200 tabs = 1 person's clean water for a year
Each Chrome user chose the causes their tabs would support, and this is where the money is going:
$245,278 toward planting trees in the Atlantic Forest, one of the world’s endangered tropical forests.
$232,791 toward providing clean water, by building freshwater wells for communities in developing nations.
$112,078 toward building shelter, to be constructed by volunteers for impoverished families in Latin America.
$267,336 toward administering vaccinations against meningitis to combat outbreaks in Africa.
$142,518 toward publishing books by local writers and illustrators, which will be created and donated to schools and libraries across Asia and Africa.

Not a lot of money on those donations, though, for what they could have donated. But hey, I'm not going to complain. :3
