The ecobutton™ acts as a strong visual reminder and prompt for you to save electricity each time your computer is going to be left idle.

The ecobutton™ is illuminated and sits on your table/desk top next to your keyboard. It connects to your computer via a USB cable.

Each time you take a short or long break, a phone call, go for a meeting etc. you simply press the ecobutton™ and your computer is put into energy saving 'ecomode' which ensures that both your computer and monitor draw only the same nominal power as when they are shut down!

Under normal circumstances people generally do not like turning off their computers due to the time it often takes to restart. However, with ecobutton™ by simply pressing any key on your keyboard (some computers require a momentary press of the power button) your computer instantly returns to where you left off.

A domestic user running a single computer can make a valuable contribution to the environment by saving up to *135kg of CO2 per year and approximately £50.00* in electricity per year by using the ecobutton™ regularly.

There's also an additional bonus, each time your computer is put into 'ecomode' the clever ecobutton software records how many carbon units and how much power and money you have saved by using the ecobutton™. Over time this can add up to quite a lot (especially if you have many computers running in an office) and you can use this data to help reduce your carbon footprint as well as your energy bills.

*Savings based on 4hrs ecobutton use per day, savings will vary depending on electricity costs and type of computer equipment used.

System Requirements
* PCs running Windows 2000 / XP / Vista 32 bit
* One free USB port
* An internet connection to install the ecobutton software
* 5Mb of hard disk space and a minimum of 256Kb RAM

ecobutton re-educates windows to enter the most economical 'sleep' mode available, it does not use the windows 'hibernate' function although some users will see the 'preparing to standby' screen when your computer enters its energy saving ecomode.

In most cases the computer is able to drop its power consumption to around 1.8 watts - approximately the same as if it were off!

Once in this ecomode, just press a key or give the power button a quick press to restore your computers and all your work instantly.
