Here is a simple way you can be greener, right now, without leaving your comfy office chair. You can install this free software tool which will tweak your PC settings and save you energy. Here’s what the brilliant Lifehacker website made of it:

Edison allows you to set different energy preferences for work and non-work time, then choose the times you want each profile to run. The power settings determine how long your PC should wait before turning off the display, powering down your hard drive, and suspending your computer. After you set your preferences, Edison also estimates your yearly savings in terms of money, energy, and CO2 emissions. Edison is freeware, requires .NET 2.0 and an email address for registration.
