Greening Your Consumption
Save Paper – Change Defaults
Word's default margin settings are an inch at the top and bottom and 1.25 inches on the sides. Change them all to .9 of an inch. You've just increased the printable area on your page, and your document will become about 10% shorter.
The default font size is 12 point. You can change it 11.5 point to shrink your document about 5%.
The line spacing is single spacing by default. If you change it to .95, you gain an extra line every 20 lines, and make your document 5% shorter.
Sustainable Product ChoicesLCD vs. CRT
• 17-inch CRT consumes 150 watts in awake mode and 30 watts in sleep mode.
• 17-inch flat-panel LCD monitor on average consumes 30 to 65 watts in awake mode, and just 3 to 4 watts while asleep.
1 CRT = (8 hrs. x 150W) + (16 hrs. x 30W) = 1.68kW/24 hrs = .07kWhversus
1 LCD = (8 hrs. x 47.5W) + (16 hrs. x 3.5W) = 0.44kW/24hrs. = .018kWh
LCD consumes 26 percent of the power, which would cut monitor power costs by 74 percent.
