- Change your laptop's display setting for an optimum brightness; with full brightness the electricity consumption increases, hence the battery drains out quickly & need to recharge it increases. Same thoughts apply to mobile phones as well as your computer's monitor
- Switch off your monitor while leaving workplace
- Similarly, if you're listening to songs on your system, ensure to close the application (or put the currently playing song on pause) if you've to move away from the system for a while. The idea is minimum amount of hardware should be in use (preferably zero), when the user is not around
- If possible, preferably shut down your PC when leaving office
- Instead of keeping your laptop connected to main power supply continuously, do it only when required
- Same concept applies to charging your mobile phones also
- Whenever not using, shut down the PC or laptop; instead of putting it in sleep mode
- If you've to come to office on a holiday, then avoid bringing up the central air conditioning system (if feasible)
- Similarly, on a holiday, switch on the lights of only your area. I've seen people switching the lights on of entire hall, even during daytime
- Instead of using automatic hand dryer or paper towel in washrooms, go traditional - bring and use your own handkerchief
- Avoid lift, use stairs. Good for health also & might reduce medical bills as well :)
