Laptop is more economical than Desktop.

Switch to a laptop instead of using a desktop computer and cut three-quarters off your electrical use. Turn off the laptop at the end of the day.

Find a recycling company that will take your construction/home improvement waste like this Philadelphia Recycling Company who will either recycle, donate or resell the usable materials instead of putting them in landfills.  They are awesome, and I'm sure there are other companies like them across the country.  

 

Great topic!

Laptop is economical to use because you can bring it anywhere and batteries now can use    8 or more hours.

Definitely a laptop is more convenient as compared to a desktop.  With a laptop you can do your job from any place without being inconvenienced by power cuts unlike the office bound desktops.

Green Ideas for Printers:

·         Buy and use recycled paper.

·         Save paper by printing on both sides of a sheet of paper whenever possible.

·         Do not have your printer set to come on whenever your computer or computer network comes on; instead, turn on your printer only when necessary.

·         Use software such as GreenPrint or EcoPrint2 to save ink, toner and paper.

Reduce your electrical appliance and lighting use, and easy on the water consumption. Don't print when you don't really need them that much and if you're printing commercially, look for a printer that uses green materials and advocates green printing. Overall, though, the best thing you can do is to share the word and to practice what you preach.

We all must care about the environment. Being healthy is a blessing and we must not forget to make the area clean in which our families and loveable are living.
