UK company OneClick Technologies fended off the might of Microsoft to win the Environmental Innovation Award at last night's eWell-Being awards. OneClick was nominated for its IntelliPlug, which can automatically shut down power to peripherals when a PC goes into standby mode.

"OneClick won because it's a simple device that can be retro-fitted and has the potential, without the consumer having to do anything at all, to save a huge amount of wasted energy. And that's for both individuals and organisations," said Jonathan Selwyn, director of Sustain IT, the organisation behind the eWell-Being awards.
