How Green is your Blog?
Or, how green is mine? In the process of moving, the ugly truth - 2 people do not need 5 computers, plus one that is just itching for an overhaul, maybe a new open source OS, and …. then the rechargers, for phones, for iPods, for the backup hard drive. It gets ridiculous, and wasteful. Over on Rough Type, a post on how much energy avatars consume. Which is, apparently, the equivelant of your average Brazilian citizen. There is some discussion in the comments about how the math is misleading, but linking out from the comments, an interesting idea: how many energy-slaves do Americans use in a day? It led me to Ecoiron, a blog dedicated to green computing. Now my guilt is forcing me to power down, unplug, and read a book. Maybe a book about the environment. By candlelight. Soy candlelight.
