| About | www.theGreenspider.com is a search engine that saves energy by using a coloured background. The search results are powered by Google. A monitor displaying a white background, the default setting on most search engines, uses 74 Watts of power; however, a monitor using a black background uses only 59 Watts. That is an energy saving of 20%. Although a black background is the best energy saver, some people may find it a little harsh to look at. To strike a balance between energy saving and usability, theGreenspider has a range of pre-set coloured backgrounds, all of which save more power than a white background.
