 Here is a chance to make a difference, by devoting JUST 10 seconds a day. You don't need to go anywhere, donate money, stage protests or shout slogans.
 How?
 
 If you use computer to work, just remember to switch off your
 Monitor every time you leave your desk. Very simple, isn't it?
 What difference does it make? Roughly, normal monitors consume
 Around 150W. Even if your screen remains ON for 1 hour per day without any
 use, energy wasted per day is 150 W-h (or 0.15 "units"). This is
 enough to light a small lamp for 10 hours! If you care to switch off your monitor
 each time you leave your place, you save electricity enough for basic
 household  needs of a small family in a village! If your monitor remains ON
 overnight, this figure becomes 10-fold - so you can probably save electricity for 10
 families. And supposing that you leave your seat 5 times a day and
 it  takes 1 second to switch the monitor ON/OFF, you spend only 10 seconds a
 day for  this deed which saves LOTS of energy on a long run!
 
 India needs help - we can do at least this much for Her!
 
 Please forward this to all your friends/relatives. If lakhs of people
 Start this simple practice, we will surely make a BIG difference!
