Default Turn if off BC

As part of a 30 day sustainability celebration, we're having a Turn it off event.

BC Hydro - Community - Turn It Off B.C.

I know all of us here already do it. But maybe my spouse will buy into the idea and do it for 30 days. And don't they say a behaviour can change if you do it for 21 days in a row?! We can only hope!

Yep - do it every day for 21 days and it becomes habit, as the saying goes.

I am trying to remember to shut down the computer more often - it's hard developign a new habit. Hubby tell sme it takes more energy to shut it down and restart it than to leave it in it's low power mode .... but I'm not so sure, so I'm trying to turn it off when I know I won't be using it for a while.

I think it takes more energy...for us as individuals to turn off the computer. =)
