Save money with the Eco Button - PC energy saving device

The ecobutton™ acts as a strong visual reminder and prompt for you to save electricity each time your computer is going to be left idle. The ecobutton™ is illuminated and sits on your table/desk top next to your keyboard. It connects to your computer via a USB cable.

The clever software records the carbon units, and how much money and power you’ve saved. This product has received rave reviews.

 
People generally do not like turning off their computers due to the time it often takes to restart (particularly when hibernate is used). However, with ecobutton™ by simply pressing any key on your keyboard (some computers require a momentary press of the power button) your computer instantly returns to where you left off.
 
There's also an additional bonus as each time your computer is put into 'ecomode' the clever ecobutton™ software records how many carbon units and how much power and money you have saved by using the ecobutton™. Over time this can add up to quite a lot (especially if you have many computers running in an office) and you can use this data to help reduce your carbon footprint as well as your energy bills.
 
 
 
The Savings
A small to medium sized business running 50 computers could save around 6.80 Tonnes of CO2 and over £2000 per year of electricity by using the ecobutton™ for just 2 hours per day. 2 hours might seem a lot but the time your computer is left idle soon adds up. For a start your lunch break is going to be about 1 hour, now include a few phone calls, say 30 minutes per day, a couple of trips to the loo, another 15 minutes, and that meeting you've been hoping to avoid and soon enough your computer has been left running alone for at least 2hrs.  
 
A domestic user running a single computer can make an equally valuable contribution to the environment by saving 135kg of CO2 per year and approximately £50.00 in electricity per year by using the ecobutton™ regularly.Indirect savings can be made with air conditioning systems as they do not have to work so hard as less heat is generated from computers that are actively using the ecobutton™.
 
Because the ecobutton™ stays illuminated even during ecomode, this can provide a useful reminder that all unnecessary computers, lighting, heating and air conditioning etc... should be switched off at the end of the day.
