How to go green with your electronics

green%20computer.pngThe TreeHugger weblog posts a collection of tips for "greening" your electronics.
Being green with electronics doesn't mean living in a teepee listening to truckers squalk on the old short-wave. Greening your electronics is a matter of knowing what tech to get, how to use it best, and what to do with it when its useful life is done.

For example, electronics like your TV consume power whether they're turned on or not, meaning that even though you may not be watching TV, your TV's still eating up a lot of power. The same is true of AC adapters. A good way to remedy this problem is by plugging these items into a power strip and flipping the switch there whenever you're not using those devices.
