Making sure your power mode settings are set to put your PC or laptop into sleep mode after a few minutes can help save money and the planet.
Your PC or laptop uses less power when it goes to sleep/standby mode, using less energy; therefore, by proxy, this will reduce carbon emissions. This action should always be a consideration, even if you’re drawing power from renewable sources. Sustainability is not about better power sources alone but also about being more efficient.
