Ecobutton™ - reduces your computer's carbon footprint with one small click

This great USB device enables you to power down your computer every time you take a break (long or short), at the touch of a button - saving you money, electricty, and helping to reduce your carbon footprint.

Every time you take a phone call, go for a meeting or a break, simply press the ecobutton™ and your computer and monitor are put into energy saving 'ecomode' drawing only nominal power - almost the same as when shut down (and less than standby). Press any key on your keyboard and your computer instantly returns to where you left off.

More information

According to a recent study, 1.8million computers in the UK are regularly left on overnight or all weekend, wasting around 1.5 billion kWh of energy, approximately £115million, or around 700,000 tonnes of carbon.

All this office computer waste can be easily avoided by adopting simple energy saving policies which are supported by energy saving devices like the ecobutton™ - with one small click, 700,000 tonnes of wasted CO2 could be avoided - about the same as taking 170,000 cars off the road.

A home user running a single computer can make a valuable contribution by saving up to 135kg of CO2 per year and approximately £50 in electricity by using the ecobutton™ regularly.
(A single monitor left switched on overnight can use the same energy as a laser printer producing 800 A4 printed copies.)

The ecobutton™ sits next to your keyboard. It connects to your computer via a USB cable. Downloadable software records how many carbon units and how much power and money you have saved by using the ecobutton™. You can use this data to help reduce your carbon footprint as well as your energy bills.

The ecobutton™ is RoHS compliant and manufactured from recycled plastic.

It is a retrofit device, so it will work on any PC running Windows 2000, XP and Vista (including laptops - but not Macs just yet), and regardless of how energy efficient your IT system may be, the ecobutton™ will contribute to further savings.

NB Some older computers and some HP computers may have difficulty in reactivation. This is a problem with the computer bios and not the software.

This product usually ships within 24 hours. Standard UK delivery cost is £2.50.
