POWER DOWN:  Contrary to office legend, turning off your computer when you go home at night does no harm.  the good it does, according to a study from Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, is substantial - one workstation (computer & monitor) left on all night for a year is responsible for one ton of carbon dioxide emissions.  Switching it off at night and setting it to sleep when idle during the day can reduce energy use by 80 percent.

Do your part:  If every computer and monitor in the country were off at night, we'd emit seven million less tons of CO2 per year.
