Simplicity: The Key To EfficiencyIt seems to me that today’s society is becoming overly complex each day. Along with this complexity, life is stuffed with new things needed to purchase and old items to throw away. Life needs to be simple again and easy to handle for day to day tasks. I recently read a book by John Maeda called The Laws of Simplicity. Maeda created guidelines with ten simple rules or “laws” to follow to achieve a simpler lifestyle. Share

EPA Announces Energy Star label for Computer ServersFor the first time, EPA announced Energy Star requirements for computer servers that will protect the environment and result in significant energy savings. On average, computer servers that earn the Energy Star label will be 30 percent more energy efficient than standard servers. If all servers sold in the United States meet this new specification, energy cost savings would grow to $800 million per year and prevent greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from more 1 million vehicles.

CO2 & Alternative Energies
Carbon mitigation through the development of alternative energies and the displacement of demand through conservation and efficiencies
We would like this group to become a forum for a discussion focused on the reduction of carbon through the implementation of alternative energies. Recently there has been a lot of discussion about being "green," but we must insure we are able to address environmental concerns while providing the energy to sustain a society moving away from traditional energy sources. Please use this group to post articles, surveys, studies, reports, charts, graphs or anything else which will help us gain additional insight into these issues.

"A Bold Fresh Piece..." OF REALITY
Dear Community Members, This forum is dedicated to seeking the true meaning of efficiency. I would like to see what people think efficiency means and how they can be more efficient. Also, how devices we use can be more efficient. Here is my view Efficiency is how much energy the product consumes compared to how much is used to do work. for example, a electric resistance heater (or a baseboard heater) is almost %100 efficient. Why? because you provide the equipment with electricity, and the equipment produces heat.
