The ecobutton is one of those ideas which are so simple that you wonder why no-one ever thought of it before. Most home computers and laptops feature a little known setting known as 'Eco Mode' which places the machine into an energy saving state without losing data. When pressed the ecobutton activates your computer's Eco Mode meaning energy is saved. When you are ready to start working again simply press the button and your machine will be instantly reactivated at the same place you left off. There's an additional bonus each time your computer is put into 'Eco Mode' the ecobutton software records how many carbon units and how much power and money you have saved by using the ecobutton. Over time this can add up to quite a lot (especially if you have many computers running in an office) and you can use this data to help reduce your carbon footprint as well as your energy bills.Based on the study figures by using the ecobutton nationally we could save700 000 tonnes of carbon currently wasted in UK offices. It makes great sense financially too - an average home would save around 50 per year and nationally we could save 115 million. more information from ethical superstore...
