Baby steps to save power

The bad news is that environmental concerns are growing every minute with changing lifestyles. The good news is that there is something simple that each one of us can do to make a difference.

Small things that add up:
During winter, turn the heat down by 1 degree-you won't notice the difference and you'll save a whole lot of power
Bike whenever possible-helps stay in shape as well
Unplug cellphone chargers, wireless routers (draw around 5.4W when plugged in) that are not always in use
Switch off appliances, instead of putting them on standby
Spread the word, like this blog does!!! Just like the SapphireForce team talking about these problems with their friends and family has helped increase awareness a whole lot.
