Gift and Gadgets.org.uk have a solution to helping with the environment, each year millions of us in the UK waste precious energy and resources that we have the biggest example of this is,

The environmental impact of PCs left running idle in the UK..

Computers and monitors can account for half of the electricity used in a typical office. A single monitor left switched on overnight can use the same energy as a laser printer producing 800 A4 printed copies - and don't be fooled by a screensaver - the computer is still working at full power to run this! There are some 10m office PCs in Britain and approximately 20m home PCs, of this, 1.8m are regularly left on overnight or all weekend, according to a recent study on energy wastage.

Based on this study, around 1.5 billion kWh of energy is wasted by computers and monitors being left on - that's approximately £115million wasted in the UK every year! Convert this into carbon and we waste around 700,000 tonnes of carbon due to workers not switching off computers and monitors in the UK.

All this office computer waste can be easily avoided by adopting simple energy saving policies which are supported by energy saving devices like the ecobutton. Based on the study figures, nationally, with one small click, 700,000 tonnes of office PC wasted carbon could be avoided. The Government is urging everybody to take steps to become carbon neutral. The ecobutton proactively encourages eco awareness and a satisfaction that collectively, every small click actually adds up to make a BIG difference.

This is emphasized by the provision of an on-screen meter that shows exactly what has been saved in both power cost and carbon footprint. It demonstrates that individually and collectively as a business, you are taking responsibility to reduce your carbon footprint and to cut electricity bills by making more efficient use of resources.

What Gifts and Gadgets have done is gone out there to find the perfect soulution and we have its called the eco button which plugs into your computers USB drive, this enables you to view used power helping you to reduce your carbon foot print.

Together they produce ionized oxygen that activates the water molecules naturally and allows them to penetrate deep into clothing fibres to lift dirt away. They are reuseable for over 1,000 washes and cost on average 3p per wash (compared to 25-30p for normal washing powder). There are no harsh chemicals so less pollution.
