The best one I’ve found is www.cleanblack.com. Cleanblack is the only version that allows you to change the text colors of the google search results.

This way at least something is put back into the environment to make up for the resources we use – and as a user it costs us absolutely NOTHING.

I find this proactive approach better than saying “something helps the environment” when in fact it does little to nothing.

More options will come soon to make it more similar/familiar like the Google layout.

With LCD monitors for instance if your brightness and contrast are not set correctly you will actually use more energy with Blackle. It's definitely a great idea and a vital thing to be thinking of but it's important to make sure you're actually making a difference rather than just feeling virtuous :-)</p> From what I understand, the energy saving (or otherwise) of Blackle is highly dependent on the type of monitor you have.
