Computers Off Australia is a not-for-profit organisation and Green IT labelling initiative designed to educate and recognise organisations that are doing their part to reduce their carbon footprint through the implementation of power management and virtualisation technology.
We all agree that computers are a great invention, and can be used to unlock all sorts of social, economic and environmental benefits - including reducing the carbon impact of our modern lifestyle.
But when they're left idling for hours on end, they're contributing to the greenhouse gas problem. For most of us, its an easy way to reduce the carbon impact of our computers by a third, a half or even more.

The Computers Off campaign is a simple but important initiative designed to educate home, business and government users on how to reduce our carbon footprint by enabling power management on our home and work computers.
Implementing power management will substantially reduce your carbon emissions – and make a real difference to the planet. Did you know that putting your PC to “sleep” or turning it off when you’re not using it, can save you up to $80 on your power bill and reduce your computer’s carbon emissions by up to 100kg over 12 months. That’s the same amount of C02 you emit by flying from Sydney to Canberra! Working together we CAN make a difference!

The Computers off label is the computer industry's guide to help business, government and individuals quickly and easily identify organisations that are doing their part to reduce their power consumption and in turn reducing their CO2 emissions.
The goal of the labelling initiative is to encourage organisation to improve the use of power throughout their ICT infrastructure and inturn reducing their carbon footprint. The campaign challenges these entities to meet the Computers Off CO2 reduction and labelling requirements and we encourage you to look out for the computers off label and support organisation displaying these labels.  |
