How much electricity do computers use ?




Computers
Desktop Computer
60-250 watts
On screen saver
60-250 watts
(no difference)
Sleep / standby
1 -6 watts
Laptop
15-45 watts

Monitors consume  more than 70 % of the energy consumed by the whole computer unit, so its advisable to switch off the monitor when you are just listening to a playlist, or when u r just downloading something.

Screen Savers save nothing. Use sleep/standby/hibernation.

Happy World Water Day


Today is World Water Day. This International World Water Day is held annually on 22 March as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.

An international day to celebrate freshwater was recommended at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). The United Nations General Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day.

A good initiative... Just see the effect !!

We have the world’s largest solar steam system..

The 73 parabolic antennas mounted atop the roof of the kitchen complex of Sri Sai Baba Sansthan in Shirdi constitute the world’s largest solar steam system that cooks food for 20,000 devotees daily..

Steam cooking is clean, efficient and hygienic, especially when food is cooked for large numbers of people. The Shirdi system has been designed in a way so it can generate steam for cooking even in the absence of electricity to run the feed-water pump for circulating water in the system.  

Saves Rs 10,500 per day on LPG.

The annual savings translates to about 100,000 kg of LPG, which is nearly Rs 2,000,000 per year.
