Are you green, white or black or a combination of these?

Have you discovered 'Blackle.com' yet?

This is a black version of Google and claims to use less power because, it seems, black screens use 59 watts and nearly all white screens like the usual google one use 74 watts. So black is green and white isn't, if you see what I mean.

So if you have a yearning to save the planet ....

While we are on this subject did you know that it is more environmentatlly friendly to drive your car to the shops than it is to walk. It appears that, as food production is now so energy intensive, more carbon is emitted to provide the energy needed to produce the food that you eat to provide the calories for the walk than would be emitted from the car making the journey ! Have a read of Chris Goodall's book ' How to live a low carbon life'.
