Save power, save money
We can all do our teeny-weeny bit in conserving energy while using our PCs. There’s no rocket science involved. At the very basic level, just learn to tune your Windows PC’s built-in power saving schemes as per your needs. No, that snazzy screensaver will not help you save a joule of energy.
Instead go to Start > Control Panel > Power Options to tweak the settings that turn your monitor off, spin down the hard disk, and tell the system to standby/sleep/hibernate after an appropriate time interval of disuse. These much overlooked settings help cut down the consumption of energy by 20 to 60 per cent while getting back into action takes only a few seconds. And totted up, all these little factors will also help save many a pretty penny at the end of the day as well.
