Going Green: Eco-Friendly Desktop Screen

Tech tipsComputer Tricks

Green IdeasGoing Green is a major objective in my life and each time I buy something I think twice.

Our old VGA desktop screen collapsed. After months of having the screen changing color from yellow to green to blue, also the screen area started to shrink it finally stopped working and we had to decide: leave the desktop unused or spend money we don’t have on another screen.

After a few days deliberating we decided that it was better to buy a new screen and give some use to the computer. My first concern was to find a eco-friendly screen and we did. We gave €10 more to buy a 19″ LCD screen with a low energy consumption and excellent power settings. It was worth the €10.

We also bought an accessory set for the desktop. My son wanted a Bluetooth headset but instead we bought a Webcam and regular headphones. For my laptop, which doesn’t have a Webcam incorporated, I bought a Webcam and regular headphones with micro. Both Webcams have incorporated micro, so depending if we are alone or not we can decide if we use or not the headphones.

This shopping was not planned therefore we had to use the credit card. Not something we wanted to do but it was a shame to have a good desktop with no screen.

This energy, solar, wind, geothermal, hydrogen, hydro-electric and biomass and wave energy is considered as natural and clean energy sources. Önemlilleri benefit most from these sources, and today the sun and wind energy are high percentage.

    Being of the earth’s sun is the source of all renewable energy. Layer is heated to different temperatures of air creates wind. Bioenerjide methane gas is used, with green plants and store the carbon dioxide is the result of sunlight.
