When I print out powerpoints for my classes, I make sure to print 6 slides per page. (The maximum amount and double sided.)

Instead of using “google.ca” for a search engine, I use “blackle.com”. It is a search engine powered by Google Custom Search.
“Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. “Image displayed is primarily a function of the user’s color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen.” Roberson et al, 2002
More information can be found on the home page “blackle.com” Just look for the words “About Blackle” at the bottom of the screen. And click on it.
But for now…USE BLACKLE.COM as a search engine and your home page. According to the website: 1,788,018,389 Watt hours have been saved!
