Lights Out!
Make an extra effort to turn out the lights. Purchase and use energy star rated light bulbs in all fixtures to cut down on the amount of energy used. Energy star bulbs typically use two thirds less energy! Install timers and or motion sensors that automatically shut off lights after hours or when they are not needed.

Shut down!
Every night at the end of the day shut computers to conserve additional energy. When upgrading or purchasing new computer hardware make every effort to purchase energy-saving computers, monitors, and printers.

Recycle!
Print on both sides of paper, use old computers as scrap paper. Avoid color printing and print in draft mode whenever possible. Use recycled paper, it may be slightly more expensive. Recylce office paper, if security is a concern shred it first.
