Goals
We will purchase energy efficient computers.
We will recycle ink and toner cartridges and other computer materials as possible.
We will employ sleep mode and turn off computers when not in use.
We will use proper disposal methods for old computers.
Practices and Accomplishments
A Green Computing "Personal Action Guide" has been developed and other materials and information are available from Information Technology Services.
Printer and copier paper is centrally purchased for use in Colby-owned equipment. After research and trials, an 80% recycled paper was selected to be used campus-wide. This paper is also certified processed chlorine-free by the Chlorine Free Products Association.
Computers distributed by Colby are pre-set to go into sleep mode after specified time period. Sleep mode greatly reduces a computer's energy usage. To learn how to activate your computer's sleep mode click here.
