Black google - Save Energy

 

Ever thought that even the web search that we do costs the environment!!!! It does…..have a read Blackle -- Heard of this…..?

Blackle is nothing but a black version of google.

 

"A few months ago, TreeHugger Mark Ontkush wrote a post on his blog EcoIron titled Black Google Would Save 750 megawatt-hours a Year. The post lays out the following train of thought. "An all white web page uses about 74 watts to display, while an all black page uses only 59 watts." Google, which has a white background and gets about "200 million queries a day" could reduce global energy use by 750 Megawatt-hours a year by simply changing the color of itshomepage to black.

In response to this post a black version of Google emerged called Blackle.com. According to Blackle's homepage at publication time, 4,408.917 Watt hours have been saved by. Nice ideas.

 

Start saving energy one search at a time. : Blackle.com instead of google.com

So here's your site: http://blackle.com/
