Leaving a 150 watt computer operating continuously for one year uses an amount of energy equivalent to a 1,000 pound pile of coal or over 100 gallons of oil. That's a lot of pollution and environmentaI cost. In dollars, it costs the University $100 year. Do it at home and it costs you $130 or more, given higher residential rates.
Please don't leave your computer on continuously. To save energy, enable power management features so your computer saves energy when on. And please turn off your computer when not in active use!
