how to save more electricity from electronic devices

• Do not switch on the power when TV and Audio Systems are not in use.Idle operation leads to an energy loss of 10 watts/device.
• Turn off your home office equipment when not in use.
• A computer that runs 24 hours a day, for instance, uses – more power than an energy-efficient refrigerator.
• If your computer must be left on, turn off the monitor; this device alone uses more than half the system’s energy.
• Setting computers, monitors, and copiers to use sleep-mode when not in use helps cut energy costs by approximately 40%.
• Battery chargers, such as those for laptops, cell phones and digital cameras, draw power whenever they are plugged in and are very inefficient. Pull the plug and save.
• Screen savers save computer screens, not energy. Start-ups and shutdowns do not use any extra energy, nor are they hard on your computer components. In fact, shutting computers down when you are finished using them actually reduces system wear and saves energy.
