Hi all,
Here is a chance to make a difference, by devoting JUST 10 seconds a day. You don't need to go anywhere, donate money, stage protests or shout slogans.
How? If you use computer to work, just remember to switch off your monitor every time you leave your desk. Very simple, isn't it?
What difference does it make? Roughly, normal monitors consume around 150 W. Even if your screen remains ON for 1 hour per day without any use, energy wasted per day is 150 W-h (or 0.15 "units"). This is enough to light a small lamp for 10 hours! If you care to switch off your monitor each time you leave your place, you save electricity enough for basic household needs of a small family in a village! If your monitor remains ON overnight, this figure becomes 10-fold - so you can probably save electricity for 10 families. And supposing that you leave your seat 5 times a day and it takes 1 second to switch the monitor ON/OFF, you spend only 10 seconds a day for this deed which saves LOTS of energy on a long run!
Check the statistic bellow
For windows we can set the power mode as follows
Inside Control Panel à Power Options à Turn off monitor à after 5 minutes
Please forward this to all your friends/relatives. If lakhs of people start this simple practice, we will surely make a BIG difference!

hey everybody!
fisrtly i was shocked to see the article in hindi...and almost lost my eyesight! well i have still not been able to read the article but with this article i remember i had read it in T.O.I that there is a city in the interiors of maharashtra where the people managed to save electricity so much that now they have been given special exemption from load shedding!
wohhhh....a city in the interiors of maharashtra without load shedding and the business capital of the country has load shedding of minimum 2 hours each day...
mumbaities...we need to learn to live and conserve at the same time...please lets start doing it before its too late!
