No images search, it's no good to me. I like the idea though.

Just my initial thought would be that displaying darker colours on a computer screen wouldn't use less energy than displaying bright colours. FWIW I know nothing about how LCD/plasma screens work.
Also if it does make a difference I would guess that the difference is negligible.

I also like to reuse staples. If you bend them so the angles are back to 90 degrees, then line them up carefully in your stapler, they are good as new and work just fine. Sometimes.
Just doing my part to reduce the energy consumption of those thoughtless office supply manufacturers, one staple at a time.

OH!! I never noticed that it was an energy saving site. I thought it was eliminating the ads of google and saving bandwidth and load times. LOL, I suck.

It doesn't use any less energy, period.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

I bet I could counter all the energy it saves in a year in one day of being Earth unfriendly.
