We hear about leaving TVs on stand-by; PCs are just as bad.
Workers who leave their PCs on overnight are causing spiralling electricity bills and extended greenhouse damage to the environment.
…
The report found that workers did not turn off their PCs for five main reasons:
- They couldn’t be bothered (17.5 percent)
- No-one else in their office did (10 percent)
- Because it’s unimportant (10 percent)
- They forget (8 percent)
- They are afraid of losing their work (1.8 percent)
Well, you should save your work before you leave for the evening anyway.
