Instead of using screen savers on you computer, set your computer to go into
standby mode or turn the monitor off completely (for instance, when you go to lunch,
switch off the monitor). A typical 17" CRT monitor uses 80 watts of energy, using a
screen saver results in no energy savings. However a sleeping monitor uses between 0 and
15 watts and a monitor turned off at the switch uses between 0 and 10 watts. Also, use
dark backgrounds for your screen display to save energy.
