Sleep is Good Program
This is a Green Practices Initiative that is a simple way to save energy in one minute!
Our goal is to save 2 million kilowatt-hours (roughly $130,000 per year) through improved computer monitor management.
Reducing this amount of energy is equivalent to:
- Energy used by 1,150 U.S. households per month
- CO2 reductions equal to preventing emissions from 140 cars
- Planting 10 million square feet of trees
