This article I found on site point is pretty cool.
10 Tips for Being a Greener Web Designer [Work Smarter]
I think that we have a responsibility to our planet and each-other to research and implement effective ways of reducing energy at home and at work/school whenever we can. Not only does it benefit our environment and our health, but in some cases even our wallet. This article gives some good tips for us as web designers to look into. I know that we as students can’t make our school or boss switch to a greener web host or make decisions based on what kind of “carbon footprint” we might leave, but there are some simple things we can do. I like the idea of switching to a laptop. They are built to save energy. Switching to an LCD from your old CRT has more than one perk too, though, who isn’t doing that now-a-days anyway. I am not saying that all of these will save the world but it should at least get you thinking about something important.
Sitepoint is a really cool site to visit for people in out industry.
it may not save the world but hopefully keep lasting longer. that was a good article being in our field staring at a computer screen all day finding ways to cut down cost or save energy is very effective.
