It’s a simple yet impressive concept. Blackle is Google… with a black background. The idea is that an all black page uses less energy than an all white page, so if you apply this to one of the world’s most high volume websites, Google, than you save tons of energy. The blog post that inspired it all claims that you would save 750 Mega-watt hours (roughly 75,000 dollars!) a year if you made this simple change on Google. It’s not millions, but if everyone pitches in a little then the result would be huge. With green products all the rage, I predict success for the search engine that saves.
When you can save the world just by doing what you normally do, everyone wins!
