are you curious why is our website so black?

Just like Blackle we aim to save energy because the screen is predominantly black. "a monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen." (Roberson et al, 2002)

We encourage users to Set Blackle as your homepage. This way every time you load your Web browser you will save a little bit of energy. Remember every bit counts! You will also be reminded about the need to save energy each time you see the Blackle page load.
