Eco Button: Labor Saving for the Energy Conscious

  January 31st, 2008



WE RECOMMEND

Worried about carbon footprints, global warming, and rising energy costs? Want to feel like you're doing something (every little bit does count, remember) without investing too much effort? Manufacturers are happy to oblige: enter the Eco Button, a piece of green plastic that puts your Windows PC into energy-saving ecomode when you tap on its broad face. The USB-powered button comes with software that tells you how much energy and how many carbon units you've saved through its labor-saving practices. Just make sure you don't blow all of that savings on gas-guzzling trip across town in your car! You wouldn't want Mother Nature to think you were mailing in the environmental sensitivity.
