Blackle-Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year

These days we are experiencing the global warming. Global warming is causing the ice bergs to melt at the arctic and hence increasing sea levels and hence the possibility of oceans covering major landscapes which includes major cities in all the continents. Here is a step taken by Google for reducing the power consumed by monitors while displaying it's search engine pages. Google introduced Blackle, the Google with black colored search pages.

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.

Thus the electricity consumption is reduced while you are using Google search and also contributing a little to save the earth.

So, please use Blackle.com instead of previous Google search from now. Also change the start page to Blackle.com if you have set Google.com before as your homepage.


Use blackle to tackle the global warming.
