Since we started using computers there's been the debate of whether to shut your computer off or leave it on when you're not using it. You're not going to be saving much if you're turning it off when you'll be using it again in 15 minutes. In fact, you may actually be doing more harm. However, shutting it off for the night will make a big difference in your energy usage and the life of your monitor. Screensavers, unlike popular belief, do not save energy. If you won't be using your computer for 15 minutes or so, put it on sleep mode.

Switching the light bulbs in your home from conventional light bulbs to Energy Star compact fluorescent light bulbs is a great help to the environment and will also be a help to your pocketbook.

You'll be wasting money and energy replacing perfectly good bulbs. Make this transition one bulb at a time and you'll really be making a difference.
