GREEN YOUR ROUTINE


The "Today" show is running a series called Green Your Routine. It offers several tips on how to change your daily routine to make it more sustainable and it's asking everyone to adopt at least one small change for the next 30 days so that we can make a big difference together.
There are some well known option like: bring reusable bags to the grocery store, use a coffee mug, turn the water off while brushing your teeth.


The option I found that was new to me was a website called CO2 Saver. You download a small file which,

"immediately adjusts your Windows Power Management settings to reduce your computer's energy use when it's idle (by default, it activates after you are away from your computer for 30 minutes). You can always adjust the level of power management at any time in the Options menu."


The toolbar sits on your desktop and lets you know how many CO2 emissions you've saved.
