#14: Use a laptop once this week
Since laptops are designed to maximize battery life, they’re about 80% more efficient than equivalent desktops. If 25% of the desktops in the US were replaced with laptops, we’d save 20 billion kWh of electricity each year. That’s equivalent to NOT burning over 8,000 railcars of coal — a third of the average coal power plant’s annual consumption.
