Small Steps to Save the planet!!

Hey people,

Almost every kid on the planet now knows mostly everything about the Global Warming. But everyone says that it is due to all the cars and the huge factories and the goverment ..

We always forward the blame on the others and say " What I can do to change the world, What a single person do to change the world, Stop the factories, Stop the cars, Stop bugging me !! "

My reply to this is " YES A SINGLE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD. IF EVERY PERSON OF THE WORLD DOES A SINGLE THING EVERY DAY TO MAKE THE WORLD A GOOD PLACE TO LIVE THEN WE WILL BE DOING 1 TRILLION TRILLION GOOD THINGS EVERYDAY "

So be a part of the move and from NOW start following the small steps to make the future of our kids bright...

EVERYONE SHOULD PUT THE FOLLOWING SITE AS THE HOMEPAGE ...

How is Blackle saving energy?

Blackle was created by Heap Media to remind us all of the need to take small steps in our everyday lives to save energy. Blackle searches are powered by Google Custom Search.

Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. "Image displayed is primarily a function of the user's color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen." Roberson et al, 2002

In January 2007 a blog post titled Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year proposed the theory that a black version of the Google search engine would save a fair bit of energy due to the popularity of the search engine. Since then there has been skepticism about the significance of the energy savings that can be achieved and the cost in terms of readability of black web pages.

We believe that there is value in the concept because even if the energy savings are small, they all add up. Secondly we feel that seeing Blackle every time we load our web browser reminds us that we need to keep taking small steps to save energy.
