My computers are automatically set to go in standby mode or “sleep” after 20 minutes of inactivity. | • When you know you will be gone for a few hours, put your computer in stand by mode or turn it off to save energy. |

All other equipment (scanners, printers, copiers, etc.) are turned off when not needed for more than 2 hours. | • Buy ENERGY STAR qualified equipment to reduce energy use while in standby mode. • Computers and office equipment do not need to stay on. |

My equipment, electronics and computers are ENERGY STAR rated. | • Over its lifetime, ENERGY STAR qualified equipment in a single home office (e.g., computer, monitor, printer, and fax) can save enough electricity to light an entire home for more than 4 years. |
