Energy Efficiency
Did you know that laptops use 80 to 90% less energy than stand alone desktop computers? Typical desktops use 65 - 250 watts per hour, while laptops consume 15 - 60 watts. Save even more energy by remembering to turn off and unplug your laptop once you are done using it.

Worksite Wellness
 A number of things can add stress at work: workload, expectation, or worries about job security. Working out or joining a gym or a sports club can help turn that nervous energy and frustration into a healthy body and calmer self.

Overall Sustainability
 Did you leave your refrigerator running? Did you know your fridge consumes 15% of your household electricity? If you do not clean the coils on the back, your fridge actually consumes as much as 25% more energy to keep your food fresh! Don't forget to clean your refrigerator coils this fall.
