The Or Sheds Light on Energy Waste with Planet Saving Screen Savers

Launched at the same time as world leaders meet at COP28, The Or has enlisted the help of several highly-regarded photographers to create Planet Saving Screen Savers.

The planet is on fire. CO2 emissions are still rising. And we’re leaving our TVs and laptops on even after we’re done using them. Leaving TVs and laptops on standby consumes 10x the amount of power than when your device is in sleep mode. 

Planet Saving Screen Savers are a collection of not-so-scenic images designed to encourage you to switch off your screens. Simply download them on this link, and apply them as your screensaver (instructions come attached with your download).

And if you’re interested in other ways to take meaningful climate action, why not sign up to Friends of the Earth’s email newsletter and hear more about their campaigns to protect people and the planet. 

Creatives at The Or, Amy Fasey & Jacob Hellström, commented, “With the world’s neverending list of problems growing, the climate crisis often feels like it’s so overwhelming and out of our hands. Most of these problems will be debated by the world’s governments at this COP28, but there are small little changes we everyday people can all do to make a difference. The Planet Saving Screen Savers are just a simple prompt to remind you to shut the laptop lid, save a bit of energy, and help the climate. Simple.”
