Our PC switch off evening saved a tonne of carbon in one night
Just thought I'd let you all know that our PC switch off evening was a great success.
-
The switch off involved over 59 customers joining our green community and together we managed to turn off approximately 700 PCs. This successfully produced a total energy saving of a tonne of carbon in just one night. The CO2 saving is equivalent to the emissions generated by ten passengers on a return flight from London to Paris.

-
If our green community continued to switch off their PCs every evening from now on, that would produce an annual saving of around 438 tonnes of carbon – equivalent to over 21 full flights making the round trip from London to Paris!
Some of our customers joined in for the following reasons:
-
1. MTC Ltd: “I believe switching off electronic equipment when it is not required is a good practice to encourage.”
2. J J Browne & Son (Jewellers) Ltd: “To be environmentally friendly”
3. Quma Systems Limited: “Energy savings make sense!”
4. Long Eaton Software: “We like to do our bit.”
5. Pile Associates: “Committed to environment”
6. Chatham Chest: “Conscience”
7. CB Direct Mail Services: “We all need to look at ways to save energy”
8. Whisky Castle Ltd: “Curiosity and perhaps to make a difference”
9. European Nickel Plc:“This is my world and I want to live healthy”
10. Quocirca:“Interested in results”
-
This was a great success for us and with the support of our green community we will be working on future initiatives.
