December 30, 2008How to build a computer that uses less energy than a lightbulb, from parts available right now
Fancy a desktop computer system with acceptable performance that uses less electricity than a 60 Watt light bulb?
Here is what you�ll need:
# 1x Intel Atom 1.6GHz Dual Core CPU (which comes on its own Intel motherboard)
# 1 x stick of 2GB DDR2 RAM (use at least 533MHz, I recommend Kingston brand)
# 1 x internal (laptop 2.5�) hard disk drive - at least 160GB (be sure to buy one with a SATA connector, not with an IDE connector. Be sure to go for a 5400rpm disk, not a 7200rpm one)
# 1 x internal DVD burner (again go for one with a SATA connection, the Samsung SH203 is highly regarded)
# a case and a power supply to put everything in. Make sure the power supply is �80 Plus� certified for energy efficiency www.80plus.org (I used an Antec NSK 3480 - the power supply & case come as one unit)
So far this all uses about 40 Watts when assembled, but to see what is going on you�ll need a monitor. The most energy-efficient monitor I can find is:
# an IBM / Lenovo L197W (a big 19� widescreen LCD flat panel screen, which uses a mere 19 Watts)
Of course you�ll also need a keyboard and a mouse, but you could easily use those from your old computer.
There you have it � a full desktop computer system which uses less electricity than a 60 Watt light bulb. Related Groups:

July 15, 2008Pigs Suffer, But Why?People like to eat meat very much, especially little kids. They can't live without meat [a bunch of idiots, duh]. People like to eat pigs, they are like eat pigs in very meal, they eat sausages at breakfast then canned "lunch meat" at lunch and pork at night.
A lot of people think PETA is wrong. They think animals are just animals. They think animals are tasty so eating animals isn't bad.
But we are animals too. We can eat other animals easily because we are clever.
Animals are not machines. Eating animals cause a lot of problems. They cause global warming. Those "factory farms" kill thousands of animals everyday... They release a large amount of methane and carbon dioxide, which will release into the atmosphere, and will inscrease the greenhouse effect Also, when we're transporting the meat, it also release carbon dioxide. And remeber, the animals you eat need food too. That's why meat is so expensive.
Vegetables are different, they are easy to cook, easy to transport, they don't release carbon dioxide, they can produce oxygen too. They're way cheaper than meat. And way healthier!!!
What can I do to save the environment? -Become a vegan today! Vegans don't use any animal products! They save the world!!
-and join peta2
-read Al Gore's "an unconvenient truth"
-visit http://getactive.peta.org/campaign/smithfield_investigation
-help save the environment,
or we will all die, We will die in anytime! Maybe in years Maybe tomorrow Maybe the next second.... Related Groups:

April 3, 2008Think green. Tips to help Curb Global Warming
Choosing modern technology can reduce our use of fossil fuels and help protect the planet. These ten steps Drive Smart A well-tuned car with properly inflated tires burns less gasoline—cutting pollution and saving you money at the pump. If you have two cars, drive the one with better gas mileage whenever possible. Better yet, skip the drive and take public transit, walk, or bicycle when you can. Buy Local and Organic Support clean, renewable energy. Also, support a national renewable electricity standard (RES). The Energy Bill signed in 2007 lacked key components that address our energy security and global warming emissions: a renewable electricity standard of 15% by 2020 and a tax package that will provide investment incentives for clean energy alternatives. Use our action center to urge your members of congress to support the renewable electricity standard and tax package! Replace incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs. Saving energy at home is good for the environment and for your wallet. Become a smart water consumer. Buy energy-efficient electronics and appliances. Plant a Tree, protect a forest. Reduce! Reuse! Recycle! Mount a local campaign against global warming.
