Google users in the United States will notice today that we “turned the lights out” on the Google.com homepage as a gesture to raise awareness of a worldwide energy conservation effort called Earth Hour. 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.

Earth Hour
Earth Hour was created by WWF in Sydney, Australia in 2007, and in one year has grown from an event in one city to a global movement.

Great idea and for a great cause, however, I was disappointed when looking at this further and EarthHourUS.org offered up ideas of things to do while in the dark and it linked to this. Not what I was hoping for, but at least it’s for a good cause.

Cheers!
