Eco Button

We can all shut our eyes and jam our fingers in our ears for as long as we want - global warming is here to stay. You can still make a difference though. Have you ever wondered how much energy you waste leaving your PC sitting idle while you're away from your desk? Quite a lot it would seem, and all of it adds up over the years creating a hefty carbon footprint that could only be rivalled by Bigfoot... if he used a PC, and drove a truck, and left his Sky box on standby in the cave all night. That's where the Eco-Button steps in. Plug this little gizmo into your USB port and give it a tap every time you have to leave your desk. Whether it's for a long drawn out meeting with the boss or drinks at lunchtime the Eco Button makes sure that your PC and monitor draw as little power as possible. Not only do you get to see how many carbon units you've saved when you reactivate the PC, but, and this is the best bit, the Eco Button software will also show you how much cash would have been spent if you'd left the computer on - genius, and fun too!
