As I am watching James Bond skiing with Elektra King in mountains covered in snow only a few days before the UN Climate Change Conference (COP15) just next door, I can’t help wonder for how long for how long those views will be available in this world.

Fortunately, there is a lot of awareness on climate change and increasing efforts to do something about it. Technology plays a big part in reversing the effects human kind has on the climate, and even the small things count, when they can be shared by many of us.

Greener web advocate Online Leaf tries to provide solutions for automating power saving features by covering the browser window in black. The idea is that by hiding resource-consuming animations on the website, a little energy is saved every time the visitor is idle. Of course, if everyone used power-saving features when their computer is idle, it would improve energy savings even more, but this is a good initiative to compensate for those who don’t.

If you use Wordpress, install the Online Leaf plugin for your own site to help the climate.
