The newly launched award-winning power saving PC gadget – the Ecobutton – will donate €1 on each of the first 1,000 gadgets sold, to the philanthropic organisation Inspire (The Eden and Razzett Foundation).

During his announcement of this initiative, Mr.Steve Alamango, Director of Innovative solutions of Mosta – the company that launched the gadget on the Maltese market – said the idea was to make a tangible contribution to Inspire whilst associating the product with real money savings that make such a difference to non-profit organisations.

Inspire is a non-profit institution that, for over 20 years, has been supporting the local community by improving the quality of life of persons with disability through a range of professional services that include therapeutic, educational, recreational and inclusive programmes.

Nathan Farrugia, Chief Executive Officer of Inspire thanked Innovative Solutions and said he was grateful for this donation. “Inspire always strives to partner up with eco-friendly operators. We are very attuned to caring for the environment and put in a lot of effort so that our operations have the least negative impact on society. The ecobutton is a great way to increase energy-saving actions and contribute towards a more holistic culture change in favour of the environment.”

The ecobutton is an intelligent and easy-to-use gadget. It is illuminated and sits on the table or desk top next to the keyboard. It connects to the computer via a USB cable and makes the PC go into deep sleep when the button is clicked, similar to hibernate.

A small application is downloaded from eco-button.com. In the application, the price of electricity is entered, as well as monitor type and size. These figures would equate to the user’s savings. Each time users take a short or long break, take a phone call or go for a meeting, they simply press the ecobutton and the computer is put into the most efficient energy-saving mode available.
