  2. How To Go Green • Replace CRT Monitors with LCD Flat Panels • Consolidate servers with virtualization • Recycle “obsolete” equipment • Use remanufactured toner • Power management

  3. Replace CRT Monitors Replace CRT Monitors with LCD Flat Panel Displays • Requires less desk space • Easier on the eyes • Consumes less power • Produces less Heat • Reduction in Greenhouse Gas emissions • Longer life than CRT Monitors Annual Savings: 619 megawatts per year 58 average American homes

  4. Server Consolidation • Consolidating multiple servers onto one physical server saves rack space, power, cooling, and costs • Virtual servers are more easily managed • Vendors include VMWare and Microsoft • Be sure to check application vendor support for virtualized servers Annual Savings: 830 mega-watts per year 78 average American homes

  5. Recycle Obsolete Equipment • Third party electronic recyclers handle pickup • Disk drives are wiped to ensure no data remains • Equipment is donated to non-profits, remarketed, or recycled. Nothing enters a landfill! • Costs vary based on residual value of the equipment

  6. Remanufactured Toner • Retooled toner cartridges for laser printers • Provider picks up used cartridges • Each material component is either re-used or sent to a specialist recycler 7.2 tons of empty toner cartridges diverted from landfills

  7. Power Management • Printers & copiers can be set to wake up, power down, sleep • Use power profiles to manage settings on desktop & notebook computers • Don’t sacrifice ready availability for power savings Calculate Potential Savings From Power Managing Your Computers: http://pmdb.cadmusdev.com/powermanagement/quickCalc.html#calculatorTop
