At the end of a day in the office, many people turn off their pc, but forget to turn off their monitor. To cut down on this unnecessary waste of electricity, cleaning companies could offer an extra service to turn off any screens that have been left on overnight. An environmentally aware cleaning firm
might actually offer this extra service for free, particularly if no other cleaning company offers it in the area. This extra service should only be confined to non critical electrical items like monitors. If cleaners were to turn monitors off at night, just think how much electricity could be saved. Obviously, office workers should be encouraged to turn their monitors off in the first place, but it's never that easy. So this cleaning service idea is the next best thing in the battle agianst unnecessary wastage.

Actually it is that easy. It's just simple stuff made difficult by stupid people. [+] |

2. You mean there's another sort ? |

Actually, Windows settings allow you to power off unused monitors and hard drives. So you can do that as a corporate standard. |

(For the record, I always make a point of powering off monitors, even those with automtatic screen saver power-offs, when corporate settings require PCs to be left on overnight.) |

Yeah, Windows can do this automatically on any green monitor that allows remote power save and it has the advantage that it can do so on any long unused period. |

Yep, amongst a host of other clever features, it can even power off your machine without warning, or saving any of your data. |

We love you too, Bill. Go suck on a Neutron star. |

I wouldn't want any cleaning crew near
computers in my office. They seem to
have enough trouble emptying the
garbage and remembering to lock doors
and turn off lights, neither of which they
do with any consistency. Ways to reduce
their challenges will be richly bunned by
moi. |
