Ok, so this whole 'save the environment' kick that the mainstream has gotten on board with seems a little fishy to me. And the influx of the rich and famous espousing the merits of green power leaves a horrible taste in my mouth. I guess it's the arrogance that accompanies many of the pleas for reducing our collective carbon footprint.It's a bit difficult to take in Leo, Madge, and Al's suggestions when it seems that they are huge contributors to the problem, and in some cases profiting from environmentally destructive behaviour.
But I do like it when people practice what they preach and at Google, they've done just that.
A few weeks ago some journalist wrote an article about the amount of energy that is drained by a white computer screen compared to a black computer screen.
In response Google has created 'Blackle'. Blackle works the same as Google, except it only drains 58 watts of energy when on the screen.
So next time you need to do a search try out:

seems like a great idea, so i tried to make it my homepage. turns out it doesnt have the 'images', 'maps', 'news' etc. options above the search...much less convenient. i use google images just as much as the regular search, so that kind of sucks.
