new search engine
Hi all,
I just wanted to share with you a Google search engine that uses less energy...it's called Blackle.
Blackle was created by Heap Media to remind us all of the need to take small steps in our everyday lives to save energy. Blackle searches are powered by Google Custom Search.
Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. "Image displayed is primarily a function of the user's color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen." Roberson et al, 2002
So if you are so inclined...try it, use it, help the world be more energy efficient.
