REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergy Power Down the ComputerWhat are other easy things you could do to save energy and reduce your environmental footprint?
Sam Rubin 10/16/2019 10:44 AMIT suggests that employees stay logged on after they go home rather then power down so they can push out updates. Maybe a discussion with IT on this process could be adjusted to accommodate shutting down more regularly.
