More than 30 billion kilowatt-hours of energy is wasted because many of us simply forget to shut down our computers when we're not using them.
Local Cooling is a free power management application that allows computer users to optimise their energy savings in minutes and as a result reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions.
Sign up and you get a funky little information bar showing how many trees and gallons of oil/electricity you are saving.
At the time of writing this, my computer has saved half a tree, four gallons of oil/9KWh electricity. It's nice to know I'm doing my bit!
If 100 million people sign up to local cooling, they estimate they could prevent over 300 billion kg of CO2 gas emissions, equivalent to over 1.8 billion gallons of oil, in just the first year alone!
So save some oil, trees and CO2 by signing up to Local Cooling today.
