Here at My Business your editor's pet hate is folks who leave their computer or monitor on all night because it's pretty wasteful to use electricity just to get a slightly faster start to the working day.

The EcoSwitch |
We also feel that wherever you stand on carbon dioxide pollution, plenty of electricity comes from sources that damage air quality. If we can use less electricity, that's not a bad thing.
Hence our interest in the EcoSwitch, a $19.95 device that is basically an extension cord with two branches.
One branch is a normal, boring, extension cord.
The other branch terminates in a big, bright, easy to find green switch that controls everything connected to the boring branch with one flick of a finger so you can turn off lots of appliances easily. Scatter a few EcoSwitches around the office and your team won't have the excuse of not wanting to bend over to flip switches one by one on a powerboard.
You'll be giving your business the gift of lower overheads - and maybe giving the planet a little something too.
Ecoswitch is available online.
