Shut down your computer properly

Yes, we know. It takes about 15 minutes, and it's as boring as listening to the weather forecast in Danish.

But it makes a huge difference.

If we all shut down our computers properly for a year, we'd undo all the damage that George Bush does in one typical morning.

Now, that may make you feel a bit defeatist.

(And frankly there's so much defeatism around, it just makes you want to give up.)

But we've got to start somewhere.

The journey of a thousand steps begins with pulling on your trainers and saying
'A thousand steps, huh? Is that like going to the station and back or is it longer than that?'

FYI: One computer left on all day results in the emission of 1,500 pounds of carbon dioxide in a year. It would take 100 to 500 trees to absorb that amount of extra carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.

Take action
If you like the action, why not give it a go? We don't want you to spend hours trying to find out how to get started on each action, so we've got some ideas here.
