One Day Action Tip – Week 7
BRING ONE DAY TO YOUR HOME OFFICE, WORK AND/OR SCHOOL
Turn computer monitors off when not being used. A PC and monitor left on continuously consume between $75 and $120 worth of electricity a year. In standby mode, this can be reduced to $15.

And don’t be fooled by screen savers! They are not an energy-efficient feature.

I volunteered to do the commercials because I believe that everyone has to do his fair share in reducing the threat of global warming. Mr. Baird and Prime Minister Harper apparently disagree.
