Office workers who leave computers on all night 'add to global warming'

quote[Don't just switch off the television, switch off the computer too. Office workers who leave two million computers on every night are speeding up climate change, according to new research.

One in five white-collar workers told a national survey that they left their computers on at least three times a week, wasting more than £100m of electricity every year.

According to the PC Energy Report, power stations generating the electricity emit 200,000 tonnes of carbon a year - equivalent to the exhaust fumes of 120,000 4x4 cars. Switching off would save as much pollution as from all the cars in a city the size of Liverpool.]
