Because I don't have to commute to work, I don't need a car or gasoline or motor oil.
Because I work from home, I don't need a "business wardrobe" and can minimize clothing/shoe/accessory purchases.
Because I do all my banking and bill paying on line, I don't receive paper bank statements or paper bills, and I don't have to buy paper checks or envelopes, so I'm helping save trees.
Because I watch the few TV shows I like on line (albeit a little late), and because I listen to radio and CDs on my computer, I don't need separate appliances for information and entertainment.
Because I read all the newspapers and magazines I want on line, I don't need to buy paper editions, saving more trees. (Because I still like holding a physical book in my hands to read, I don't read many books on line... but I do buy the vast majority of them used.)
And finally, because I shut down my entire system's power strip at night and when I'm not home, I minimize even the electricity it takes to run my computer.
How can the internet NOT help save substantial energy?
