Blackle

Update on this post here.

Speaking of energy savings, particularly small changes that can make a big difference, Blackle is a take on the Google search but completely in black. Why? Because it takes more power to display a white screen than a black one. Multiply one screen by millions and the savings become very significant. The idea is based on a quick study from earlier this year showing that if Google was black, 750 Megawatt-hours could be saved per year. So far, by the site's estimate, 113,772.351 Watt hours have been saved.



Spread the word, use it instead of the Google homepage. Little differences add up.
