New Computer Monitor that Conserves by Watching

>

We can all set our power options to switch off our monitor after a certain amount of inactive time - however, that time is still being spent consuming electricity.

Enter the Eizo Nanao FlexScan monitors with EcoView Sense.

EcoView Sense allows the monitor to sense movement, or more accurately, the lack of movement. After 40 seconds of inactivity in the monitors proximity, it will automatically shut down.

You can read about it at New Monitor Watches You.

Save Green by Going Green

>

Here’s an excellent article that reiterates that you can save money while becoming more green.

But what about costs? Yes, there is an upfront investment in money and time, but the payoff is clear. Even during this recession, as you focus on the bottom line and try to save wherever possible, you can actually reduce operating expenses through green initiatives. In fact, relatively small investments can yield big potential returns. Plus, consider the additional benefits that sustainability can lead to: more effective recruiting, improved worker productivity, lower absenteeism, better employee retention, and enhanced corporate branding.

The article has lots of great suggestions. You can find it at LEED the Way with Sustainability: Go Green without Spending Too Much Green.

Detroit - On Its Way to Green

>

Detroit is in the process of having its first wind turbine constructed on the roof of the Wayne State University Engineering Technology Building. Congratulations on taking the first step to renewable energy.

Here’s and excerpt from an article about the event.

“This is important because our nation and the whole world is moving toward renewable and sustainable energy development. We need to find new areas to boost our economy, and we know that energy, especially renewable, could be a very good area,” Wang said. “And Wind energy can definitely boost our economy in Michigan. We can have our Michigan companies employ our Michigan people.”

I keep saying it… Moving towards environmentally friendly can also be economically friendly.
