Internet usage and GLOBAL WARMING

Have you ever thought the amount of money that is being simply wasted when you try making money online? Statistics from IIT A show that if all people trying to make money online would try for one hour less we would be able to save enough power to power the entire city of Mumbai for 3 hrs. Mind me Mumbai is a very populous city.

Now another study done by Students of NIT C show that an average computer not only uses up power which results in global warming but also that the heat produced by a computer while working for an hour increases the temperature in the room it is situated in by at least .3 C. Now a CRT monitored computer consumes .35 units of power every Hour. The study also shows that an average user leaves his computer idling with a screen saver running for minimum of 4 hrs a day that is 1.4 units of electricity wasted per computer for all computers with Internet connection. We make website saying stop global warming but while doing that we are only making it worse so am going to switch off my computer and go read a book so that i can save at least a unit of electricity today.
