Going Green with IT

Globally, computers create 54 million tons in needless CO2 emissions / year,
the equivalent of 11 million automobiles or 20 coal plants. Automating PC power management can cut PC related energy costs by 60% or more. One study of Windows end users found that almost half of them disabled the sleep timers on their PCs. By some estimates, 90% of desktops do not utilize power management settings.
