do you know how much power did it use?
I noticed today that a few of my colleagues had leave their PC monitors ON when they are going on vacation for more than A week..They really need to know of green computing. So, what is green computing?? Answer: the practice of using computing resources efficiently. In a world where computers are everywhere, and environmental concerns are growing by the day, we need to consider how we can build, use and dispose of computers in a manner that's conducive to the health of the environment.
According to the statistics from Columbia University, A typical monitor left on 24/7 for one year, will consume a whopping 874 kWh of electricity - enough to release 750 lbs. of CO2 into the atmosphere — equivalent of driving 820 miles in an average car!! Left on overnight, it wastes enough energy to laser print 800 A4 pages!! No harm will come from shutting your computer down when it is not needed.
