9 ways to save energy at home

Use your laptop more than your desktop

Laptops use an average of 20 to 50 watts of electricity to run, whereas desktop computers use an average of 60 to 200 watts of electricity to run. The reason for this is that laptops run off of battery power and desktops are continuously plugged into a power source that drains energy.

Make sure to unplug your laptop and docking station from the power source once it’s fully charged. Not only does this help reduce your energy usage, but it also optimizes your laptop’s battery life to last longer.
