• Buy All-in-Ones.  All-in-one fax-printer-copiers save on electricity and space, and reduce equipment heat emissions.

• Shut down.  Power down and save up. Shut down your machine at night and when it's not in use.

• Spin down your hard drive.  Set your computer to put your hard drive to sleep when it's not in use. This extends the life of your drive and saves energy.

• Get a "Smart" power switch.  When you shut your computer down, this power switch cuts off juice to all your computer peripherals at once.

• Use a laptop, which typically consumes less power than desktops.

• Turn off peripherals.  Unplug or power down idle computer peripherals like scanners or printers when not in use.

• Don't use a screen saver.  Screen savers are not necessary on modern monitors, and studies show they actually consume more energy than allowing the monitor to dim when it's not in use.

• Be an Energy Star.  An energy efficient PC and monitor will feature the ENERGY STAR label or logo. Look for it and save on energy . . . and energy bills.

• Web Page Printing of Selected Items  To print only a few words or a single picture from a web page, highlight the information or graphic with your mouse, then from your browser's menu click File/Print, and click the Selection button under the Page Range options.
