Google in the Black
Electrical generation is a significant source of pollution in the world. Computers use a significant amount of electricity. But how can you save electricity while using it? Blackle is a custom search engine that is based on Google but the display is black. Takes some getting used to but according to a post at EcoIron using black on Google could save 750 megawatts a year. A green twist on an old favorite.

Any idea on helping the environment is very commendable and coming up with an idea to save energy when doing searches on the internet is definitely a solid idea. There are other versions of a black Google but I prefer a site called Greenback Search because as well as the energy saving black background, a big part of the revenue from searches made on their site is used to purchase carbon offsets on behalf of users. Check it out at http://www.greenbacksearch.com/.
