Last week, my goal was to donate something. I got two big 'ol bags over to Goodwill. Pics for proof.
This week, the challenge is to lower your graphics settings on PC or console games.
The name of the game here is to reduce the energy consumed by your PC. Doing things like selecting a lower resolution can help reduce your energy draw. It might not be significant, but it's one small sacrifice you can make for the environment if you feel up for it.
On that note, if you've got a console, make sure you turn it off when you're not using it. Standby or Sleep Modes make a lot of consoles into vampires - they're good, but not great. Turn 'em off. Like a lightswitch.
I don't have a ton of data on how/if lowering your graphics can reduce energy by a lot. I'd welcome more info here.
