Did you know that the average computer left on all day results in the emission of 1,500 pounds of carbon dioxide in a year? It would take between 100 and 500 trees to absorb that amount of extra carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere*. That makes me feel pretty bad about the times I have forgotten to turn my computer off (albeit rarely), so the introduction of this ingenious little contraption comes as a great relief to me and I am sure to you as well.

Here’s how it works:

You plug the ‘button’ into your USB port and it acts as a reminder to press it every time your computer is going to be left idle. Whether this is during a telephone conversation or whilst you go to make a cuppa, or attend a meeting or whilst you are doing paperwork, pressing the ecobutton will send your computer into ‘ecomode’, which ensures the computer and monitor are set to operate in the most efficient, lowest power mode available. When you are ready to use the computer again simply press the button and it will take you back to the work you were doing before, and an information box will appear on screen telling you how much energy you have saved. You will be amazed to see how much energy (and money!) you can save in a week alone!

The ‘ecobutton’ is easy to install too, with a simple free download available from the internet which provides step by step instructions to get you up and running.
