My sister sent me this email a few weeks ago, thanks sis, and here it is:
Bet you all use Google every day. Now here's a great thing - 'Blackle' - the eco friendly Google.
When your screen is white - an empty word page, or the Google page, your computer monitor consumes 74 watts, and when it's black it consumes only 59 watts.
Mark Ontkush wrote an article about the energy saving that would be achieved if Google had a black screen, taking in account the huge number of page views, according to his calculations, 750 mega watts/hour per year would be saved.
In a response to this article Google created a black version of its search engine, called Blackle, with the exact same functions as the white version, but with lower energy consumption. Check out www.blackle.com
Worth using from now on!
