Well, today I got knocked down a notch or two. Thinking I knew everything there was to know about green living - and especially about simple energy saving tips (LOL)...imagine my surprise when my granddaughter called to tell me about Blackle. "Black what?" I said. "What are you talking about?" So, I immediately went to check it out. It is SO cool. And what a simple "in your face" idea.
Blackle is a search engine (powered by Google...HMM - nothing lost here) It uses a black screen to conserve energy.
According to Heap Media, creators of Blackle, there is a significant difference in energy consumption between black and white screens for CRT monitors. Their aim is to remind people of the need to take small steps every day to conserve energy.
When I checked it on May 4, 2009, it showed at the bottom of the screen that 1,218, 774,720 Watt hours have already been saved! That's huge.
Do your part. Spread the word - or spread this blog post. Make it your home page. Read the FAQ's, the About page, and the Tips. USE IT!
