Earth hour

Earth hour is an initiative of the WWF. Every year they select a time when in cities around the world, people switch off all the lights in their apartments and offices, thereby helping save energy. This year the earth hour is on 28th of march at 2030 IST and millions around the globe will participate. I hope you will join too and the lights in your room will be switched off from 830 to 930.
You can follow the earth hour on twitter for more updates. And yea, here's the link to my twitter page! I shall remind my twitter followers to switch off the lights... ;)

Do check the vid...




Remember! We have to hand over the earth to the next generation in the same condition as we got it, if not better! :)
Dont just keep complaining abt the hot weather...ACT or its only gonna get worse!

PS: Its Bharath's Bday too... So can give him some more GPL in the dark! Hehe...

Save energy wid ur computer

Nowadays in every magazine youll find an article about the
latest threat to our planet:Global Warming...So what can we
ppl who use computers a lot do about it?
Here are a couple of things:
1.CO2 Saver: CO₂ Saver is a lightweight program that
manages your computer's power usage when it's idle, saving energy and
decreasing the demand on your power utility. The less electricity
produced, the fewer harmful emissions and greenhouse gases such as
carbon dioxide (CO₂) are released into the atmosphere.

What's more, CO₂ Saver shows you the amount of CO₂ you've saved
single-handedly, as well as all other CO₂ Saver users combined!
So go on and become a CO2 saver...
2.Blackle: In January 2007 a blog post titled Black Google Would Save
750 Megawatt-hours a Year proposed the theory that a black version
of the Google search engine would save a fair bit of energy due to the
popularity of the search engine. Google, which has a white background and gets
about "200 million queries a day" could reduce global energy use by
750 Megawatt-hours a year by simply changing the colour of its homepage to black.
It is similar to google in every way,except for the colour...So
use it instead of google search...Save energy by making Blackle.com
your home page if not my blog.
And I know it wouldn't be fair if I asked you to use blackle bcoz the screen was
predominantly black and used a light colour for the blog myself ...So I changed it too .
Now my blog also saves energy ;)
Not that I get 200 million visits daily...but small drops maketh an ocean...
