Our Friend the Computer - great tip for work (or home)!


Ahhh, the lovely modern convenience of computers; how did we ever live without them? An integral part of everyone's day to day lives, computers have become standard in homes and offices everywhere. And while they help us tremendously day to day, they are also huge energy-users.


One simple way to cut back on the energy used by our computers is to forego that fancy screensaver (I know, I know, we'll all miss those 3D flying objects!), and instead set your monitor to "sleep" after so many minutes of inactivity. Activating sleep settings on just one computer prevents approximately 300 pounds of CO2 emissions each year.


For detailed instructions for setting this up, check out this link.
