Eco-Tip 46


Every week we'll post another easy tip to help you be environmentally friendly.

Eco-Tip 46
Make your next computer a laptop! Laptops use less energy and are made of less material than desktop computers (plus a ton of other benefits that I couldn't even begin listing). Some new laptops even have energy-saving mechanisms. Mine - a Toshiba Satellite, has an "eco-utility" setting which changes the hue on certain parts of the screen to save a significant amount of power over time. Apple MacBooks are excellent too -- they're specifically designed to use less energy and material (that's why they're so slim!)
