- Turn computers, copiers and other office equipment to low-power standby mode when not in use.
- Use laptop computers and ink jet printers, if available, since they use 90% less energy than desktop and laser printers.
- Implement paper-reducing strategies, such as double-sided printing, re-using paper, and using e-mail instead of sending memos or faxing documents not only save energy, but to conserve other resources.
- Connect PCs, monitors, fax machines and computer "peripherals" to one power strip, and then turn off that power strip when not in use and every night.
