As computers play an
ever-larger role in our lives, energy demands, costs, and waste
are escalating dramatically. Consider the following from the
Climate Savers Computing Initiative:
-
In a typical desktop
computer, nearly half the power coming out of the wall is
wasted and never reaches the processor, memory, disks, or
other components.
-
An average desktop
computer requires 85 watts just to idle, even with the
monitor off. If that computer were in use or idling for only
40 hours a week instead of a full 168, over $40 in energy
costs would be saved annually.
-
Turn off your
computer at night so it runs only eight hours a day - you'll
reduce your energy use by 810 kWh per year and net a 67
percent annual savings.
-
A tree absorbs
between 3 and 15 pounds of CO2 each year. That means up to
500 trees are needed to offset the annual emissions of one
computer left on all the time!
