What is ScreenSave about?
Australia is currently in an energy crisis. Many theories have been put forward to help reduce energy costs & carbon emissions. An article was posted not long ago that the average computer screen uses 74 watts of power when the screen is white yet only 54 watts of power if the screen is black (note this figure is for CRT Monitors).
There are over 200 million Information Searches on Google in Worldwide every day (This figure is unknown in Australia). If each query lasts roughly about 10 seconds then that equates to 550,000 hours every day, switching to a Black Google would save $75,000 in energy costs.
Whilst the energy savings may seem small we feel that this could be the first step you take to really caring about Australia's current Energy Crisis, so bookmark this site, share it with your friends, use it everyday & remember that every time you use ScreenSave you're doing your bit to save energy.
