Blackle is a website powered by Google which is designed to save energy by displaying all its pages with a black background and a greyish font colour.

The thinking behind it is that a computer monitor uses up more energy the more vivid colours it displays are. By displaying much darker colours, it uses much less power & is therefore much environmentally friendly.


At the latest count, 2,000,118.930 watt hours have been saved by Blackle. Check it out now www.blackle.com, although if you're visually impaired this may not be the site for you!
