An Appeal.!
You are aware that various states are facing acute Power Crisis. Governments have taken load-shedding measures in various parts of the State. To surmount this crisis, The Government has appealed to consumers to reduce 20% power consumption, during April to June 2006.
It is our social responsibility to respond positively. I request all of you to make a personal resolution to reduce power consumption not only in the offices but also at your homes too, in whatever possible manner from now onwards.
Please ensure, whenever leave from your workstations switch off lights, PCs, immediately. Minimize usage of Elevators, ACs, Geysers, TV, Music systems etc. etc. Remember, power saved is revenue saved! If you feel that it will do something good to our company and/or to our present & future generation.
Here is a chance to make a difference, by devoting JUST 10 seconds a day.
You don’t need to go anywhere, donate money, stage protests or shout slogans.
How? If you use computer to work, just remember to switch off your monitor every time you leave your desk. Very simple, isn’t it?
What difference does it make? Roughly, normal monitors consume around 150W. Even if your screen remains ON for 1 hour per day without any use, energy Wasted per day is 150 W/h(or 0.15’units’).This is enough to light a small lamp for 10 hours!
If you care to switch off your monitor each time you leave your place, you save electricity enough for basic household needs of a small family in a village!
If your monitor remains ON overnight, this figure becomes 10-fold? so you can probably save electricity for 10 families.
And supposing that you leave your seat 5 times a day and it takes 1 second to switch the monitor ON/OFF, you spend only 10 seconds a day for this deed which saves LOTS of energy on a long run!
Please forward this to all your friends/relatives. If lakhs of people start this simple practice, we will surely make a BIG difference!
Happiness is a choice that requires efforts at times.
I solicit your cooperation to overcome this National Crisis.
