Save Energy: Unplug Abandoned Equipment

One of our forum hosts, Dave Welp, suggested these quick, power-saving tips:

1. Look for abandoned telecom equipment like old modems and PBX; search for un-utilized or under-utilitized servers or computers used by former staff and volunteers.

2. Clean up your power strip: Look for plugs to those old calculators or speakers.

3. Electronics continue to consume electricity even when in an off state, so either turn them off at a power strip, or unplug them entirely.
