On Saturday March 26th hundreds of millions of people around the world are expected to participate in the world’s largest climate manifestation Earth Hour, and show our support by turning off the lights for one hour. Earth Hour is a great symbolic gesture to highlight the problems with climate change we are facing.
Why not show your support for the earth and “celebrate” Earth Hour every hour 7 days a week by switching off electronically gadgets when not using and change to ICT-products with minimal impact on the environment.
Pledge your support for more laptops designed for the planet
One simple action for more “green” notebooks is to show the IT industry that there are many of us who want to see more notebooks designed with the environment in mind. On TCO Development’s website you can show your support and take part together with companies, national authorities and individual people all over the world to influence the major computer manufacturers to offer the market more TCO certified notebooks. Pledge your support for laptops designed for the planet.

Earth Hour for 2010 will take place on Saturday 27 March at 8.30 pm to 9.30 pm. Closing down most of your energy consumtion for one hour every year is supposed to contribute to a clear and measurable global energy saving. This will be one of the good initiatives taken and will be a continued call to action. It will, I think, also be an eye opener to more good habits, by you, for you and the planet.
Welcome also to Earth Hour 2010 Conference, organized by WWF, World Wide Found for Nature, on 23 March at 1.00 pm – 5.30 pm, in the Golden Hall, Stockholm City Hall. The conference will present a series of pioneering examples of how business, politics and public sectors together can solve the global climate challenge.

Today we welcome our Guest Blogger Mr John de Boer, export manager at Götessons.
Götessons is one of the exhibitors in the TCO Show Office. We learn from them how to combine IT work with smart energy saving solutions in an eco friendly way.
Read and learn from John´s blog:
For Optimum office productivity a well balanced environment is required,
were the equipment complements and supports the user. We produce our own designed functional solutions to help create the ideal office working space. But we feel that it is essential that we bear in mind how, where and for what purpose we manufacture, blending durable usability with ergonomics and only giving the “Green Light” to Eco Friendly Products.

We are proud to have been nominated for Sweden’s prestigious Smart energy saving Company award,
