Earth Day is April 22nd, and we’ve put together a few ways you can make a difference.
 
While it doesn’t have to be Earth Day to make some improvements to your computer and office habits, it’s a good time to take stock of our behavior and how it can affect the environment.
 
Of course, if that’s not enough of a reason, there’s always the bonus of saving some cash too!
 
Here are a few simple steps you can take to “go green”:

  • Reduce energy consumption by utilizing your computer’s power saver options.

  • Turn off your computer at night, both to conserve energy and to reduce heat stress on your machine.

  • Donate or recycle your “outdated” electronics instead of throwing them out.

  • Consider purchasing “reusable” or “refillable” printer cartridges.

  • Upgrade to an LCD monitor to reduce energy usage by more than half.

  • Reduce paper usage by printing double-sided when possible.
