I came to a realisation that my older blog was wasting up energy. Energy in terms of watt hours – so I decided to change my blog to black, as this uses less energy than coloured or white screens. Having done this, I found a search engine, powered by Google called – Blackle.
How is Blackle saving energy? Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. "A given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen." Roberson et al, 2002
How can you help? Set Blackle as your home page. This way every time you load your Internet browser you will save a little bit of energy. Remember every bit counts! You will also be reminded about the need to save energy each time you see the Blackle page load.
Visit: www.blackle.com and start saving energy now! So far 2,372,227.614 Watt hours have been saved!
