Admit it. Yes, global warming is the biggest and most discussed issue in the world this year, and it’s getting worst day to day. I can feel it, the temperature in Kuala Lumpur is getting hotter and hotter. Everyone should should not take it easy on global warming because, it is happening and everyone should play their own role to save the country and world.
For groups of people who works with desktop or laptops, there is a simple way to stop the global warming from getting worse, and that is to POWER DOWN your device when it is not in use or you are away for lunch for example. You can do this by turning off the monitor power or simply let your laptop in sleep mode. By this, you save 200 lbs of Carbon Dioxide, according to Stop Global Warming Organization.
Actually this is not just applied to computers, you can do this with other electrical appliances like televisions, radios etc. Turn them off when not in use. By this, you can also save your money from paying bigger sums of bills as well as saving the world. Two huge benefits in one action, why not doing this?
