Cut your computer’s energy use with 3 simple tools.
1. The average desktop PC wastes half of the energy it consumes.
All this wasted energy contributes to climate change and may be needlessly increasing your electricity bills. Simple tools like using your computer’s energy saving features could reduce your bills by as much as $60 dollars a year and save half a ton of greenhouse gas emissions. With a few mouse clicks your computer can be set to ‘sleep’ when you’re not using it… saving valuable energy. For simple instructions on how to do this go the Climate Savers website.
2. If you’re buying a new computer look for how energy efficient it is.
An Energy Star rated computer uses 15 to 25% less energy on average than a standard computer.
3. Don’t forget to unplug!
Your computer and other electronic appliances use energy even when they are turned off or on standby, so unplugging them can save even more energy and reduce your energy bills by as much as 10%.
