An easy way to save energy
is to turn down the brightness of your computer screen. It takes more
energy to run a brighter display. Many computers have shortcut keys or
brightness settings. If you use a battery powered lap top you
probably turn down the brightness to perserve battery so if you are on a desk
top, turn down the brightness to use less energy. It's easier on the eyes too.
Second, unplug printers, scanners, speakers and other
hardware when you are not using it. Unless you print regularly, leaving your
computer's printer or scanner plugged in is unnecessary; disconnecting it from
the power outlet saves energy. Or if it is easier, plug the printer into a
power strip and switch it off unless you are printing.
