TheGreenSearch.ca is a site dedicated to all things green and is affiliated with TheGreenPages.ca. Both are excellent ideas and are growing rapidly in their search results. 
I have found them quite useful at times, especially when I’m looking for articles or stats on a specific green issue. They can be rather efficient when compared to the gazillion search results that you may need to weed through on other engines, which have thrown me for a loop in the past with results like “leprechaun hats” and “absinthe” when looking for green products [though both can be fun]. 
The above green engines may be based in Canada, but they garner results from all over the globe. If you’re aware of any similar green search engines, I’d love to hear about them. 
From The Green Search site:
Through the power of Google, thegreenpages.ca network has created a specialised search engine that searches Canadian environment-related web sites. Rather than searching the entire web, your search yields “green” results from across Canada and around the world. Use it as a research tool, or keep up to date on the latest news, events, and trends happening in our environment.Included environment-related web sites & resources from:

All levels of government (Federal, Provincial, & Municipal)
Non-profit Organizations (ie. WWF Canada, Earth Day Canada, Evergreen, Greenpeace, ESAC)
Research Institutions (ie. Pembina Institute, UBC Fisheries Centre, David Suzuki Foundation)
Academic Institutions (ie. Environmental programs @ the University of Waterloo, York University, Trent University, Dalhousie University, University of British Columbia)
International organizations (ie. EPA, UNEP)
Popular Magazines & Journals (ie. Alternatives Journal, Ecologist, Utne, Economist, Walrus)
Major news outlets (ie. CBC, CTV, Globeandmail, The Tyee, Canada.com)
Publishers (ie. Raincoast Books, New Society Publishers, Island Press)
Blogs (ie. Changeeverything.ca, World Changing, Zerofootprint)
