Green Your Computer Use: Screen Savers

Posted Jun 10 2009 12:09am

Screen savers don't save energy Computers help us work faster, find information, and connect with friends and family. They also use energy and create waste. This week, we'll discuss ways to do the most good and minimize harm while using the computer.

Tip #2: Forget the Fractals

They were originally designed to protect monitors, but new technology makes screen savers unnecessary. Save energy by avoiding the hypnotic graphics, which consume as much power as regular processing. Change your computer's screen saver setting to "blank" or simply turn off the monitor when you walk away from your desk.
