Did you know...

...that 40% of the average American's carbon footprint is in consumption of goods and services.

...that Americans use an average of 6 wireless products in their day-to-day lives.

...that over 43% of American cell phone users replace their cell phone about every two years.

...that more than 350 million rechargeable batteries are purchased annually in the United States.

...that approximately 73% of municipal solid waste is either land-filled or incinerated. (Rechargeable batteries found in consumer products like cellular phones and laptop computers are toxic and may cause substantial harm to human health and the environment if land disposed or incinerated.)

...that 12 million barrels of oil are used to produce plastic bags each year. Worldwide, an estimated 4 billion plastic bags end up as litter each year. Tied end to end that's enough to circle the earth 63 times! That's incentive to skip the plastic bag!

...that Smart Power Strips reduce the amount of power drawn by computer accessories when they aren't in use. 

...that ENERGY STAR studies show that if every home office replaced just the computer equipment with ENERGY STAR labeled computer equipment, it would save 219 billion pounds of greenhouse gases. In addition, by using a smart power strip on your existing computer system, you can save more energy than by replacing your computer and you will be keeping more computers out of the landfills. The EPA found that a single compliant ENERGY STAR computer and monitor can save anywhere from $7 to $52 per year in electricity bills.

...that if you leave everything on 24/7, just by setting the sleep mode to one hour in a typical office, and using a smart power strip will result in a 73% power savings. With the average electric rate in the USA currently at 10.22 cents per kilowatt the average office computer achieves a savings of $11.55 per month.
