Press Release
Fight
Global Warming from your Desktop with Local Cooling.
Announcement:
23 November 2006
Global warming and its impact on the environment is a hot topic
in the news at the moment. As a software company, we are aware
of the fact that the energy required to run the computers belonging
to 660 million users worldwide, runs into millions of kilowatts
each day. It is estimated that more than 30 billion kilowatts
of energy are wasted each year because many people forget to
shut down their computer when leaving the office. The CO2 emissions
from all those computers are huge, especially as the emissions
from just 15 computers are equivalent in energy terms to the
gas consumption used by one car!
Here's something that every computer user worldwide
can do from their desktop, right now, to reduce the output of
CO2 from their computer and it's totally free. LocalCooling.com
is a brand new project from the labs at Uniblue Systems. The
new downloadable application will automatically optimize the
power settings on a PC, by using a more efficient and effective
power save mode. An easy-to-use interface allows users to change
their default power settings, meaning savings on electricity
bills for the users, and therefore a reduction in the amount
of Greenhouse Gas that results from powering a computer.
The LocalCooling.com website updates the results
in real time for power savings, and translates this into meaningful
environmental terms, such as how many trees and barrels of oil
have been saved since the LocalCooling.com Community started.
As word spreads and more people download the application, the
website will display the rapid increases in the savings made
globally. Members can set up Individual, Team and Company Accounts
showing the savings for one, two or a whole office network of
PCs. There is a fun aspect to LocalCooling.com, as users can
compete with each other in the "Top 100" League Tables
of the biggest savers worldwide.
Uniblue's goal is to introduce 100 million PC
users to the LocalCooling.com Community. With that many members,
the community could prevent over 30 billion kW of gas emissions
each year - amounting to a saving of around $3 billion on energy
costs alone. For more information about the impact computers
have on the environment, see www.localcooling.com
LocalCooling.com is a non-commercial website
and is not a selling platform. It is malware free, carries no
advertising, political content or bias in any way. It has been
developed specifically to help in the fight against global warming;
to demonstrate that individuals can take action and make a real
difference to an issue of global importance. By joining the
LocalCooling.com Community, PC users can work together to bring
about a positive, noticeable change to the future of our planet.
