Are you doing your part in conserving energy?

[nippyjun]

Are you:

1. Turning off lights when you leave a room.
2. Turning off appliances that don't need to be on
3. Using fluorescent light bulbs instead of regular ones.
4. Using a fan instead of the air conditioner.

It is very important for all of us to try to save a little energy. I don't think it's hard to use 10% less energy per person. In addition to helping the environment you'll save some money as well.

Just something to think about....

 

[Soybomb]

1.) not always, i hate coming home to a dark house
2.) Is there abig problem with people like leaving on blenders? My computer should be turned off at night....but it stay on for my convenience.
3.)I don't like the light flourescents give off, nor the interference/hum.
4.) ROFL....now thats just funny man A fan will never ever compare to the air conditioner.

Seriously conservation is good, but I like to think I make differences in other ways like using a toaster oven instead of heating up the big one

 

[Deeko]

Yes
No
No
No

I don't live in Cali so i don't care...no energy shortage here

 

[YisSerL]

I'm doing my part cuz everything electric is off at my house right now.

I've been hit with the rolling blackout!

 

[loup garou]

[toph99]

yes
i don't exactly leave my oven on when i'm not cooking something all of my computers are on 24/7 though
depends on the room, but occasionally
noo way. i can't stand humidity

 

[RC5Bri]

1-4)No.

Although, during the winter I do have a nice "space-heater"... it is a dual 366 @ 561 computer I always leave my computers on 24/7, for RC5.

 

[ToBeMe]

1) Yes.......2)-4).....Nope...... Sorry but I'll worry about it a bit more when/if it hits here........didn't see to many Cali's worried about the '93 floods here in the central U.S.

 

[Optimus]

I never did until I started paying an electrical bill - now I turn EVERYTHING off!!!

 

[Electric Amish]

Yes! I have been sitting in front of my computer and moving very little. I'm conserving ALOT of energy.

I always turn off lights when I leave rooms. Always have. Just a habit I guess. I leave my computers on most of the time, tho...

amish

 

[tim0thy]

no, i have computers cracking RC5 for TeAm AnandTech.

 

[Pastore]

sorry californians, but i have never tried to conserver energy...

 

[yakko]

Yes on all four. I even ran my tv signal to the video card so now I don't have the tv and the computer on at the same time.

 

[nippyjun]

Ok, for those of you who don't do your part.... do you care about:

1. saving the environment
2. saving money

 

[littleprince]

me trys....
but for some reason rc5 comes first in my head....
so no powersaving for the comps
they go on 24/7

monitors powered off though!!

don't worry, whatever energy the cpus waste, is made up for since i don't need a heater in my apartment anymore

 

[xyyz]

yes to all... the town next to me got hit with a rolling blackout.

all you people laughing at california... when our economy slows down you all will be jobless running after cars with a squeegie in your hand.

 

[Dameon]

Please disregard #4 if you live in Texas in the summer...
Seriously, it's not a luxury, A/C is a safety feature down here.
104 degree air being blown around is not going to help jack sh!t.

It's like asking people in alaska to use candles instead of a heater / furnace.

 

[urbantechie]

#1: I have to leave them off when I play CS since the glare
#2: Kinda, I don't watch my TV but I leave both my computers on. The other computers I don't know what my sisters do with them.
#3: Yea my dad upgraded all the lights 5yrs ago when we moved in.
#4: We are getting Central Air soon so I think fans are out of the question.

 

[MattCo]

OK...
#1. Good point, it does help the environment.
#2. Save money? Electric and gasoline aren't a million dollars a watt/gallon like in calif.
