Using Energy Wisely

By purchasing this low-pwer, Energy Star compliant computer,

you join a growing number of users concerned about conserving energy. Here are a few additional energy-saving tips:

If your printer and monitor aren't Energy Star compliant, turn them off when you’re not using them.

Use the print preview option on your software before you print something. You'll be able to catch formatting errors before you commit them to paper.

If you have an electronic mail system available to you, send E-mail rather than memos. Not only is this faster, but you’ll save paper and storage space too.

Use recycled paper whenever you can.
