Product description

Our children have a right to hold us to a higher standard when their future - indeed the future of all human civilisation - is hanging in the balance - Al Gore Nobel Prize Winner and Former Vice President of the USA How does the ecobutton™ work? 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.

There are some 10m office PCs in Britain and approximately 20m home PCs of this 1.8m are regularly left on overnight or a
