Oxford university: New project to develop enery saving green software that is free and easy to download, which will make networked computers more energy-efficient and reduce carbon emissions by saving on electricity needs. The project, underway at Oxford’s Environmental Change Institute (ECI), will start with an 18-month pilot project on the Oxford campus, and eventually spread to include educational institutions across the U.K.

The research team on the project will monitor not only energy use, but also cost savings from increase computer downtime. Researchers estimate that most computers are in use less than 25 percent of the time — roughly 40 hours during a 168-hour week.

This Eco friendly printing software indeed saves trees, paper, ink and some money.

Software eliminates unwanted pages when you want to print by highlighting the exact content which needs to be printed. You can track the number of pages you want to print etc. You can read lot about it at greenprint.
