<p>Following <a href="http://www.liveearth.org/">LiveEarth&#8217;s</a> spirit, I will talk about the environment friendly search engine. No it&#8217;s not a completely new revolutionary search engine with complex algorithms, It&#8217;s just google washed up!</p>

<p>A  monitor spends 74 watts average to display a white page while only 59 watts are spent to show a black page. Following this principle, <a href="http://ecoiron.blogspot.com/2007/01/black-google-would-save-3000-megawatts.html">Mark Ontkush posted that a Black Google would save 750 Megawatt-hours a year</a>.</p>

<p>So go ahead, save our beautiful planet, just by changing your default homepage/search engine to <a href="http://www.blackle.com">Blackle</a></p>

<p>(note: I already suggested them to add <a href="http://alcidesfonseca.com/blog/56">OpenSearch</a> so it could be easier for people to add it to their browser)</p>
