What can I do to conserve energy?
- Turn lights off when you're not in the room and use daylight instead of electrical lighting whenever possible
- Use energy efficient light bulbs
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator whenever possible
- Turn off computers in the evening; during the day, use your computer's standby and hibernate modes instead of screen savers
- Plug appliances with phantom loads (TV's, DVD and VHS players, computers, printers, stereos, CD players, video game systems, iPod and cell phone chargers, etc.) into a surge protector and switch it off when not in use. (A phantom load is wasted energy that is created by electrical devices while they are turned off.)
