Help the environment and your school.

Sustainable technology for a greener world.

Reduce the computer hardware that needs to be manufactured, shipped, installed, operated, cooled, and eventually replaced. Cut consumption of non-renewable energy and raw materials. Significantly lower electrical consumption. Shrink your school's carbon footprint. Slash your output of hazardous electronic waste. And reduce costs, improve computer/student ratios, and make life easier for administrators, teachers, and IT professionals.

Reusable and renewable

In an era when landfills overflow with disposable products, Fiddlehead stands out for its enduring qualities. When your current computers reach the end of their operational life, Fiddlehead can be removed and reinstalled in your new desktop units - reducing the cost of upgrades while extending your return on investment even further into the future.

Shrink your carbon footprint...and your bills.

Desktop computers consume electricity and generate heat, which increases the load on air-conditioning systems and leads to the consumption of yet more electricity. By turning one desktop computer into as many as five workstations - all of which perform identically to dedicated desktop computers - Fiddlehead can cut operational energy use by up to 70%. (See our energy-calculator.) That not only saves your school money - it can ultimately help cut carbon emissions and hazardous waste from coal, oil, and nuclear power plants, while reducing the demand for new hydroelectric dams on pristine rivers, as well as other power generating capacity.

Less hardware, less environmental impact and more performance.

Manufacturing and shipping computer hardware consumes non-renewable energy and raw materials, as well as financial resources. Then, after it wears out or is superceded by newer technology, it becomes hazardous electronic waste - a potential threat to the environment that requires still more energy to ship, recycle, or dispose of.

By providing full-performance workstations with far less hardware, Fiddlehead can have an impact far beyond its educational and financial benefits.
