As the cost of gas continues to rise and talks of energy conservation becomes a daily topic, going green has become increasingly popular. At Nimbletoad, we are taking green to the next level by going black.

Black? No.. I don’t mean turning off all your lights and abandoning technology. I mean using a black website instead of a white one. White websites use more energy to display than black ones.

ZDNet After hours Toolkit measured wattage readings of a monitor displaying a white website and a black website. The difference is a remarkable 10 watts! Imagine how much energy would be conserved if more websites were black. Try using blackle as an “black-friendly” alternative to google.
