Reduce Your PC’s Power Consumption

There are a few things in life in this day and age that the average person can’t live without: bare necessities like food and water, and then absolute necessities like a cell phone and a computer. It’s amazing how advanced society has become just because of the invention of the computer, but it’s also scary how much we have contributed to global warming because of this energy-consuming machine.

The carbon dioxide emissions released from 15 computers is equal to the gas consumption of one car, so if you think about the millions of computers used every day for work and school, that’s a LOT of CO2 pollution. But I’ve discovered an easy-to-download application that optimizes your PC’s power saving mode by cutting its CO2 emissions in half….and all for free!

The Local Cooling Application is an amazing device that you can download for free to use on your computer. It automatically optimizes your computer’s power saving mode by doing one of these three things when you’re not using it:

  • Turning off your screen
  • Putting your hard drive to sleep
  • Shutting down your PC completely

All of these not only reduce the amount of energy that your computer consumes, but they also improve your computer’s efficiency and overall lifespan.

Spread the Word

I think that this is a great application that everyone should use. It’s simple to download and you don’t even have to do anything once it’s on your computer! Plus, you also get free stats on how many trees and gallons of oil you save each day when you sign up for an account.

Imagine combining this application with the MacBook Air. Do you realize how much energy you could be saving?

If you also think that this is a great idea, just click on this banner to find ways to link to the Local Cooling website. It's a simple way that you can help others to discover this great power-saving application:

GreenPrint is a software that apparently helps you avoid printing extra pages (like that blank page 3 of the directions you print?).

Reset printer defaults:
Draft print quality is plenty good but conserves ink.
Margin defaults shouldn't be any larger than 1".

  • Waste-Free Lawn and Garden
    EPA Seal
    Don't over-fertilize. A slow-release organic fertilizer applied once in the fall is sufficient for most lawns.

I have an older car that gets about 25 miles to the gallon. I'm thinking about getting a hybrid, but the old car still has a lot of miles left on it. I'm thinking that if I change my driving habits and reduce my miles driven by 30%, that's equivalen...
