Going “green” is tough. We receive junk mail, use diapers that have a half-life of maybe a 20 years (speculating here), drive our cars half a block to pick up a gallon of milk that is in a plastic container we just toss back into the garbage.
Yuck!
Well, with another kid on the way, I have been thinking of doing a whole lot more recycling. But there is something else that I spend a great deal of time doing – staring at a screen and especially Google.com. According to Justine Ungaro, a fellow photographer, “If Google had a black screen, taking in account the huge number of page views, according to calculations, 750 mega watts/hour per year would be saved.”
So, check out Blackle. No jokes here. This is still the same old Google search engine doing its thang in the background. Pretty cool.
Blackle is finally the new black.
UPDATE: Apparently there is also another website called Ninja (all black and “deadly accurate” – get it) that does the same thing as Blackle. [Thanks to Tim Sanders for this tip in his latest blog post]
