Greener Travelers - Unplug their office before they leave!

If you want to be a greener traveler, in addition to bringing your reusable water bottle or coffee mug on your business trip, unplug your office before you leave on your business trip!

This article in the Huffington Post claims that as much as 10% of your month energy bill can come from items that are plugged in even when not in use!  They recommend using a power strip to make it more convenient to "unplug" multiple items at the same time.

I have plugged all of my office appliances into a couple of powerstrips.  The night before I leave on a business trip, I turn off the powerstrips and pack my reusable water bottle.

Imagine the impact on an entire office building...

Good luck building your army of green travelers!
