The idea of boycotting DKOS (and all other sites) for Earth Hour, or even shutting it down completely, is currently being discussed.
I would like to suggest a less radical approach: Do the same as Google Denmark is currently doing - change the color scheme to gray on black. If the site is back to normal when you visit it, you can look at Blackle instead
This change in colors would serve two purposes:
- It reminds every visitor of Earth Hour
- It reduces the power consumption of the visitors screen.
Note: I do not know the reduction in power consumption - nor am I even sure it is measurable. Any one who knows, please feel free to comment
UPDATE: It seems this may not reduce consumption at all for LCD's. Since the effect is probably neglible anyway, please ignore point 2 above.
Implementation details and DIY instructions for your own site below the fold.
