Computers on Global Warming !!!
The PCs are playing a huge role in making the globe a warmer place. As per Amit Agarwal a normal computer consumes and emits this much of heat into the atmosphere.
One computer left on 24 hours a day will cost you $115 - 160 in electricity costs a year and dump 1,500 pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere.
A tree absorbs between 3-15 lbs of CO2 each year. That means that 100-500 trees would be needed to offset the yearly emissions of one computer left on all the time
It is good to:
- Turn off your computer when it is not used. Atleast your monitors.
- It is better to buy Laptops. Laptops consume lesser energy 1/4 of the Desktop PC and LCD Monitors use only 1/3rd of the CRT ones
Do take part in making this world a better place to live..
