IT giants HP, Intel and Citrix have joined hands and requested all users to shut down their computers tonight (August 27, 2008) in a bid to spread awareness of saving energy. Today has been chosen as the day when all participating users will shut down their computers and the amount of energy saved will be published shortly.
Energy saved is money saved! A part of the money saved would be donated to the American Red Cross.
The request is not to shut down your computer and stop doing your work, but to shut it down before heading to bed. The only thing that can get affected will be your downloads, if any. It’s OK to let go of it for a day, for environment; please…
Register on HP website to show your support to save energy.
**update**
So far 2457 users have signed up and the estimated savings in terms of energy is 31,941 kilo watts. That could probably light up a small city for an entire night…
