Money Wasters

A new report says that businesses are wasting
billions of dollars by leaving their PCs on at
night. U.S. organizations squander $2.8 billion a
year to power unused machines, emitting about 20
million tons of carbon dioxide roughly the equivalent of 4 million cars.
About half of 108 million office PCs in the USA
are not properly shut down at night.

**FYI: The report says. If the world's 1 billion
PCs were powered down just one night, it would
save enough energy to light the Empire State
Building inside and out for over 30 years.
