I came across this great new earth friendly tip for our web searches.
For those of you who use Google, try Blackle instead. It's Google with a black background instead of white.
The creators of Blackle say that a black Google would save 750 megawatt-hours a year.
A megawatt-hour is equal to ten thousand 100 watt light bulbs burning continuously for 1 hour.
Every watt counts.

**** Read the comment! Turns out "Blackle" isn't all it's cracked up to be. I will have to do a little research and see what's going on. It's good practice to not trust everything you hear without a little background check.

Test conducted by Google itself http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/08/is-black-new-green.html has proven that Blackle may save little energy with CRT monitors but will actually increase energy consumption with LCD monitors.
Because of this misconception, it has created a easy money making business for the creator of Blackle. It has been estimated by many SEOs that he should be pocketing over thousands of dollars each day from google ads.
Also it is very obvious that Blackle is violating Google’s TOS and adsense policy, “Publishers are not permitted to make prominent use of ‘Google Brand Features’”.
I personally think it is so unfair for other publishers that are putting huge amount of times and effort into writing quality contents for website to attract visitors and increase their income from adsense, while someone just violate the adsense policy and Google isn’t doing anything about it.
If anyone agree with me and want to stop Blackle, then just visit Google’s adsense violation contact form and lodge your complaint about Blackle. STOP BLACKLE!
