*~Earth Hour~* - Lets all try!!(8-9pm)

Google users toda in many parts of the world will notice today that google have "turned the lights out" on the Google homepage as a gesture to raise awareness of a worldwide energy conservation effort called Earth Hour.

So why don't we all try?😛

As to why we don't do this permanently - it saves no energy; modern displays use the same amount of power regardless of what they display. However, you can do something to reduce the energy consumption of your home PC by joining the Climate Savers Computing Initiative.

On Saturday, March 29, 2008, Earth Hour invites people around the world to turn off their lights for one hour – from 8:00pm to 9:00pm in their local time zone. On this day, cities around the world, including Copenhagen, Chicago, Melbourne, Dubai, and Tel Aviv, will hold events to acknowledge their commitment to energy conservation.

Even though, the black screen on google..saves no energy; modern displays use the same amount of power

There are some things you can do now to reduce the energy used by your computer, such as:

• turn on the power management features. Virtually all computers today have the ability to switch into low-power modes automatically when they're idle; very few computers have this capability enabled! Here's how to do it on computers running Windows XP.

• turn off your monitor and computer when you're not using them

• turn down the brightness on your monitor

• make sure your next computer meets the efficiency standards of Climate Savers Computing (an efficient computer uses up to 50% less energy than a conventional one)

• to find the most efficient PCs available today, look for the words "EnergyStar 4.0 compliant."

Google Screen to users today

Heres a screensot..😉

So lets all try helping the earth!!!
