OfficeMax joining energy saving effort

NAPERVILLE -- OfficeMax Inc. joined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star Low Carbon IT Campaign by enabling the power management, or sleep mode, on their computers and monitors. This simple step will help reduce the nation's growing demand for electricity, save organizations money and help fight global warming. According to the agency, if all office computers and monitors in the U.S. were set to sleep when not being used, the country could save more than 44 billion kilowatt hours.
