Green IT at NU

Check out the latest edition of NUIT's quarterly newsletter - eCommunicator - to find out more about how IT played a role in this year's Green Cup competition. They also include a few great tips on some energy best practices such as:

* Turn off your monitor when you’re away
* Unplug your chargers, printers, and other peripherals when not in use
* Eliminate screen savers and enable power management settings instead
* Use print preview, and set your printer to always print on both sides
* Purchase ENERGY STAR products
* Remember to eCycle when your machine is ready to retire

You can also catch the podcast with one of the Green Cup co-chairs embedded at the end of this post. More information about the Green Cup competition that encourages energy and water conservation in the residence halls is also available at their website.
