Clear your eco-conscious with Greenbook

If you're going to spend all day networking *insert silly inverted commas fingers here* on Facebook, how about doing some good. Unless you're powering both your computer and the Facebook servers with pedal power, you're guilty of sucking up previous electricity. Luckily, now you can sign up to Greenbook, which goes some way to alleviate the problem.

Greenbook works by buying renewable energy credits; certificates that prove that electricity produced by traditional (potentially harmful) means were replaced by equal amounts of energy produced by green methods. It invests in 'green power', namely renewable sources such as solar and wind power. To pay for this, it has to get companies to sponsor it: the more users sign up, the more sponsorship they get.

So, there really is no excuse. Hop to it, techno-eco warriors. Get it here.
