Top Tips Habits For Greener Computing

PC World has posted five relevant tips on how to develop habits for greener computing. If you really concern about global warming or better environment, you must read this article.

Five Top Habits for Greener Computing include;

1. Save Paper and Ink

This include using reverse page of printed paper instead of using new pages so you save money and papers too!
Secondly is by shrinking text/fonts and printing two pages side by side onto one sheet. Thirdly is by printing your papers in draft mode, if possible.

“I receive a lot of press releases and other printed documents that I never read more than once (if ever), so when I can get away with it I print on the reverse side of these pieces, reserving my pristine sheets for letters and other important documents. The savings are tangible: I’ve bought exactly one 500-sheet pack of paper in the last two years.”

If you print a lot from the Web, you should absolutely download a copy of the ad-supported GreenPrint World so that you can trim the stuff you don’t need printed, which saves both paper and ink (or toner).

2. Stop Wasting CDs and DVDs

You can do this by using rewritable discs so you can use it more than once. Secondly, you can also recycle your CDs and DVDs.

“Rewritable discs cost more and take a little longer to burn, but they’re perfect for passing data back and forth without throwing out all that metal and plastic.”
