Saving energy is something that matters to a lot of people these days, and if you couldn’t care less, maybe it’s about time you did. For one, you get to save on your finances as well. Another reason, which is more altruistic, is that you do your bit in helping the environment.

Did you know that there are widgets out there that can help you in this regard? I have been looking up some of these widgets and found that there are quite a lot to choose from. Here are some of the best widgets that you can use to save energy.

Computer giant Hewlett-Packard is doing its share in saving the earth by providing a host of free widgets on the site https://h30470.www3.hp.com/. The widget runs on most any PC, and does not interfere with the regular functions. So how does it help? When you leave your computer unused for a while, it will show you a pop up reminding you to turn it off. It also computes how much energy you have saved over time.

Another widget that you can use to save energy is Verdiem’s Edison application. Just like HP’s widget, this baby’s free to use. The great thing about this widget is that you simply enter data such as the hours you use your computer the most and how much energy you want to save – the program does everything else for you. And to encourage you to save more, you can see how much energy you are saving at any point.

Try these out and do your part!
