In honor of the month that brings us Earth Day, here are some tips on cutting down the amount of electricity you use to power your gadgets.

POWER MANAGEMENT: Set your computer to go into standby, sleep or hibernate mode after between 30 and 60 minutes of inactivity. This will conserve power and allow you to quickly get back into what you were working on. The less time it takes for your computer to go into standby or hibernate, the more power you will save. Using the power management features on your computer can save between $25 and $75 per year per computer.
