Turning a computer monitor off saves energy and money. A function that will turn 50,000 computer monitors off saves more! Each new Dow computer has a setting that turns the monitor off when it is idle. Dow saved so much power this way, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) named Dow a "2003 Energy Star^® Million Monitor Drive Contributor."

The monitor shut-down function helped Dow save $2.5 million in energy costs in 2003. Dow also reduced the amount of carbon dioxide equal to taking 6,395 cars off the road.

This was one of many efforts during 2003 that showed how Dow is working to save energy, money, and the environment.
