GreenPrint is a simple piece of software which eliminates waste associated with printing (most notably that last page with just the URL, banner ad, or legal jargon) saving time, toner, and money while also saving trees, reducing greenhouse gasses, and decreasing waste. If all new computers sold in 2006 used GreenPrint over 36 million trees would be saved, CO2 emissions would be reduced by over 117 million tons – that's the equivalent of removing 23 million cars from the road for an entire year! GreenPrint estimates that would save the average Fortune 500 company $2 million and 4,000 trees annually.
Shortly after its launch in November 2006, the company received a very positive review in The Wall Street Journal by Walt Mossberg as well as a segment on CNBC (links below). GreenPrint has also been endorsed by American Forests, The National Arbor Day Foundation and a number of other conservation organizations.

80 PLUS® is an innovative, electric utility-funded incentive program to integrate more energy-efficient power supplies into desktop computers and servers. Power supplies are the devices that convert AC power from electric utilities into DC power used in most electronics. 80 PLUS certified power supplies are substantially more efficient than typical power supplies, and can save 85 kWh per desktop per year, and 300 kWh per server per year.
To date, over 550 power supplies have been certified and approximately 50 local and major computer manufacturers, including Dell and Hewlett-Packard, are selling qualified computers. The most recent ENERGY STAR® computer specification (Version 4.0), which went into effect July 2007, includes 80 PLUS power supply efficiency levels for desktop computers.
