Sustainability Saving energy is simpleBeing energy-wise is not rocket science; turn off your computer or laptop instead of leaving it on all the time (turn off your printer too). Use a toggle-switch power strip and plug things into it – turning off the red switch cuts power to what is plugged in. Turn on only the lights you need in a room and turn them off when you are finished. Little choices add up to big results. You have the power to make a difference.
