Some useful facts are: LCDs, or flat-panel screens save one third to one half of the amount of energy used by CRTs. Believe it or not, computers and office equipment in the U.S. consume the annual equivalent of the electricity usage of 7 million households. Factors such as the use of toxic chemicals, electromagnetic radiation and even noise pollution — inherent in the common mass-produced computer — can negatively affect users' productivity and health, ultimately making a negative impact on all measures of company efficiency. Energy-efficient hardware can reduce power use by an average of 25 percent compared to similarly equipped models. Leading manufacturers are producing Eco-friendly hard drives and computer parts that use less power without sacrificing speed. Energy Star http://www.energystar.gov. is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. A computer that is Energy Star rated, for example, must waste only 20% or less electric energy as heat which can reduce your LIPA bill for cooling costs.
