Turning Your Computer Off

2010-11-30 | The ECO Edge

Why should we get into the habit of turning our computers off when we leave work?

Did you know...

America could...

  1. prevent the release of 39,452 tons of carbon-dioxide emissions
  2. save $4.7 million in utility costs
  3. reduce energy consumption by 54.3 million kilowatt-hours

IF every American turned off their computer(s) for one day!

This is a statement that all Canadians should take serious. When you leave work how many computers do you still see up and running in your office? In your next meeting or office discussion suggest that all computers are shut off at the end of each work day and especially before the weekend. Not only is it easy to implement and takes very little time but it could result in a huge positive impact.
