Small changes can make a big difference in how we use resources and how much of the resource we are using.  Here are a few quick tips that are not painful to implement but can help “green up” your technology and save a few dollars.

1.   Print in duplex
2.   Set your printers to go to sleep after 5- 10 min
3.   Use flat screens versus CRTs ( you know, the old huge monitors that took up half of your desk?)
4.   Turn your monitors off at night
5.   Turn your printers off at night
6.   Use virtual servers to reduce hardware
7.   Recycle electronics and parts like circuit boards, memory, printer cartridges (check out our eCycle article)
8.   By Engergy Star equipment
9.  Think about using notebooks instead of desktop PCs
10. Opt for software download instead of buying “packaged”.  It not only saves packaging and materials but freight consumption needed for delivery
