• Turning your equipment on only when you need to use it.
• Activating power management features so your computer and monitor will go into a low power "sleep" mode when not actively in use. Visit http://wings.buffalo.edu/ubgreen/content/programs/energyconservation/power_save.html for instructions. It only takes a few seconds.
• Turning off your monitor when you leave your desk.
• Activating power management features on your laser printer.
• Buying low-wattage LCD flat screens and not CRT monitors.
• Don't just "log off"; when you're done, shut down!
