Green computing at home is a smart move. Not only can computers drain tons of energy, but their parts, and all the fancy gear that comes with them are not always earth-friendly.
Use these tips to keep your home computer use green:
Use a laptop because it drains less energy than a desktop. You can also make sure to buy one of the newer Energy Star computers.
Unplug when you leave the room – or at the very least turn your computer off. If you suck at remembering to turn your computer off pre-set your computer to turn off or sleep automatically after a set amount of time with no use.
Buy only recycled and reused extra computer gear and equipment. Recycled computer paper, reused-refilled ink cartridges, and refurbished computer desks are all good ways to save resources.
Make sure to recycle your computer when it’s good and done. If there’s still life in the old computer then consider donating to an organization that could use one.
Also recycle other computer items like computer disks.
