Google on Earth Day…

Following last week’s announcement of an ongoing Earth Day donation campaign from Google Checkout and a batch of new Google Transit cities, Google offers more ways for Google users to “go green.” Starting today, Google Transit is now available in San Francisco, CA; Denver, CO; Milwaukee, WI; Ann Arbor and Holland, MI; Kansas City, MO; Framingham and Cape Cod, MA and Rhode Island. Also launching today:

1) the Energy Saver gadget for Google Desktop, which enables and optimizes computers’ power management settings, putting them to sleep when they’re not in use;

2) Google SketchUp’s “Go Green” site, which offers tips for design professionals interested in green building design;

3) Google for Educators offers recommendations for teachers who want to use Google Earth and Maps to teach about environmental issues in the classroom.
