Tips for "Green Computing"

The millions of computers running idle overnight and on weekends as well as those cutesy screen savers are contributing to what is estimated to be 2% of all electrical consumption in the United States.

Did you know that the carbon dioxide emissions generated by the technology industry is about the same as the airline industry?

Everything these days is getting the 'green" tag added to it and computers are no different. Whether you're a tree-hugger or a global warming skeptic, you can save some 'green' either way if you make a few adjustments to your computer habits.

Listen in as the Data Doctors explain how you can incorporate some simple green computing tactics into your digital life and save a little bit of the environment (and your money) at the same time!
