Today I got a mail forward mentioning this site called Blackle.
The tag line - Saving energy one search at a time, reminds me of the Howard Schultz's book Pour Your Heart Into It: How Starbucks Built a Company One Cup at a Time.
Similarities apart,this site created by Heap Media, is powered by Google, so be assured of the quality of the search results ;). Going by the popularity of the Google search engine, a black version is estimated to save 750 MW-Hours a year. Using Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. A monitor displaying white consumes gretaer amount of energy than that displaying black. What more, the homepage also mentions the amount of energy saved because of using Blackle.
Do take a look at this site, especially, click on About Blackle link at the bottom to know more. Please appreciate the initiative and the motto behind it.
I realize now that I too am going green by selecting a black blog template...;D
