Switch Off

This exercise ran a week before the Polystyrene exercise. We've asked everyone in Dentsu Utama to turn off their computer main switches and other switches (i.e. printer and copier) before leaving the office. We've found out that when the main switches are not turned off, we're draining up to 5 watts of unused energy per hour, per switch. Imagine if you multiply that by the number of non-working hours in a year?!

So we've imposed a fine of RM2 if anyone's caught not turning off their main switches. We've seen 80% improvement in the past one month. Though repeat offenders' attitudes are hard to change, but their money is good enough to cover our other 'green' expenses for the office :) At first we have 4 repeat offenders, a week later, it was down to 2. I'm really happy with the progress :)
