Green Computing
Someone is listening! I received this email today from Alastair Maclead, Director of IT Services at OCAD:"It is a good idea to shutdown your computer daily in the interest of energy conservation." with the following info:
If 250 OCAD computers were set up to enter sleep mode after a brief period of inactivity, AND turned off during non-work hours, OCAD's electricity consumption would drop significantly, resulting in the following benefits:
annual reduction of 120,000 kWh electricity consumption
annual reduction of 36.25 tonnes of CO2 emissions
annual savings of $12,000
He also submitted a good resource on green computing from Trent U, which I have linked to the title of this post!

Of course, this e-mail proves what Erin was saying: the monitors are NOT already set to go into sleep mode when inactive.
Gotcha!
