Blackle.com Energy Saving Search

If you think recycling is too hard or takes too much time, even after reading my previous post. Than this is something for you!

This morning I found out about Blackle.com a search engine powered by Google custom search, thanks to a tweet from Sophia Bush. Basically it’s Google, only in black! And that’s where the energy saving lays. A monitor requires more energy to display a white (or light) screen than it does displaying a black (or dark) screen.

So if you use Blackle every single time you search for something on the web, you save energy one search at a time!!!! So, change your homepages / search engines to Blackle.com and start saving energy :) .

And with the knowledge of black saving energy in mind, Silent-Butterfly.com will go from green to black over the weekend!

Very cool just checked it out… PS.. you linked it wrong lol might wanna take out the L behind www.

I don’t recycle often, but I totally use energy saving light bulbs in all my lighting fixtures. I generally keep my AC around 77 as well :) Little by little.

Thanks for the heads up on the link lol, quickly posting things isn’t always a good thing ;) should be fixed now.

I have energy saving lights too and I’m currently looking into LEDs. You don’t have to do big things to make big changes, small steps count for something too!

Brilliant! I am glad I chose dark colors for my website in this case. Thank you for verifying a hunch I have had for a long time :D . -goes off to change her home page to blackle-
