My Part, Darkly

I learned two things today. First, computers use an amazing amount of electric energy, which translates into air pollution, nuclear waste, dammed rivers, global warming, et cetera. Second, computer monitors use more energy for light areas than for dark areas of the image.

Thus I've decided to do my part to save the planet by making today's image completely black, thus saving electricity. If we all do out part, we'll all be under the impression that we're doing our part.
