tBlog - Cut Down Your Electricity Bill

Are you spending so much time on tblogs that you receive a high electricity bill? While browsing the internet I came across a freeware which minimizes this problem.

The software, Local Cooling – “Fight Global Warming from your Desktop”, saves energy by automatically optimising the computer’s power settings and introduces a more effective power save mode, “meaning savings on electricity bills for the users, and therefore a reduction in the amount of Greenhouse gases that result from [generating electricity for] powering a computer”.

The cool thing about the software is a small panel with three counters. The amount of kilowatt hours saved since the programme was installed on the particular pc lets one calculate the money saved. The other two counters translate the kilowatt hours into barrels of oil that would have been used to generate that electricity, as well as the number of trees that will be saved with the reduced greenhouse gases that the energy saving brought about.

But it does not stop there. The company, Uniblue Systems, launched a non-commercial website www.localcooling.com, which does not only allow free downloading of the energy saving software, but also brings together the energy saving results of each user and compiles collective results. In fact, after its first few days of operation, Local Cooling users have already saved around 550 gallons of oil and 60 trees.

Users can sign in for an account on localcooling.com, and their energy savings will be added to those of other registered users. Moreover, companies and offices can set up team or company accounts, and have the aggregate savings of their group calculated by the website. The website also puts users in competition, by listing the “Top 100 League Tables of the biggest savers worldwide”. There are three such lists – Top saving teams, top saving companies, and top saving individuals.

So download the software now for free by clicking on the above banner to help in a good cause while gaining yourself.
