Reduce PC Power To Save The Earth
Posted in Event, How To | By AhTim @ April 22nd, 2008
Today, 22 April is Earth Day. I wish to spread the words of awareness for the Earth’s environment. How a blogger bring the awareness of earth’s environment? What a blogger can do to help and save the earth’s environment? You might curious how can you do it? We will discuss it further when you read through.
Spread the Words
The first thing we as a blogger can do is spread the words to bring up the awareness for earth environment. I believe you have seen the movie “An Inconvenient Truth”. Although I am not totally agree with the author’s words, he did bring up the awareness of global warming. The fact is, not only global warming but also water and air polution. I believe we as human are not able to resolve this problem, but at least do not hurt the earth further.
Please copy and paste the codes below to your blog and show the Earth Day Awareness picture.

Reduce PC Power Consumption
I know you have curious, until which extend we can save the environment. According to the facts, more than 30 billion kilowatt-hours of energy is wasted because many of us simply forget to shut down our computers when we aren’t using them. This is really a bad habit.
Do you know the CO2 emissions from just 15 computers are equivalent in energy terms to the gas consumption used by one car? (15 computers=1 car). More facts at Local Cooling.
So the next step that we can do is reduce our PC power consumption by joining the Local Cooling Projects. You can save hundreds and thousands of trees, gas, and energy by using a simple software.
1. Download Local Cooling software (~3.91MB) Only available in XP or Vista.
2. Create a free account in Local Cooling.
3. Join the “Earth Day” group
4. Set your power saving settings as screenshot below

After set your power saving settings, start reduce your pc power consumption and share your results with us. You can see your power saving status by double click on the local cooling icon on taskbar. I have “0″ zero saving since I just start to use. Start from now, I will try my best to reduce my computer power consumption and remember to shutdown computer.

Please start count your power saving and compete among us by join in “Earth Day” group. I will reward those who enter into this game!
Leave your name in the comment after joined.

Hello Ah Tim. I’ve joined LocalCooling and tried to join the “Earth Day” group. Didn’t see anything happen? Is it have to wait for your moderation or something?
