Tips for Going GREEN in Your Office!  12-31-2009    printer  

1. Remove your phone charger from the power point when not in use, as it continues to consume up to 40 percent of the current used to charge your phones. This is vampire power – if it’s warm it’s using energy.

2. Look to maximize natural light in your office, rather than relying on artificial light.

3. Choose recycled paper, rather than paper made from virgin timber-it makes up 70% of office waste

4. Keep a paper-recycling tray in addition to your waste bin.

5. Set your computer to sleep if you are away from your desk for more than 10 minutes, which reduces power consumption to about 5 percent of full operating power.

Here's a photo of the process!
