Panasonic continues to work to save the environment by donating laptops to Wildlife Trust Scientists. These rugged laptops are you used for gathering important research information out in the field. The Scientists rave about the long battery life and easy to read touch screen.

Many electronic devices advance the way we live, help in our workday, but the one place they should have no impact is our precious environment. We never think about where those old laptops and computers end up at retirement. Panasonic minimizes their impact on the environment by utilizing recyclable parts in production when possible.

As consumers become more aware of the impact of electronics on the environment, we are choosing to support more green conscious companies. Panasonic recently did a recycle drive with Minnesota and Maine and collected over 1.2 million pounds of old and non-working electronics. It's nice to see a large company doing their part to protect our environment.

Knowing that working out in the field can minimize the life of your laptop; you need to be aware of how those damaged computers end up being disposed of. By purchasing a Panasonic Toughbooks rugged laptop, you are contributing to saving the environment as well as getting an effective tool for field work. Go green and be productive all at the same time with Panasonic.

Offering a battery life of up to 10 hours on some Toughbooks models allows for a more productive day in the field. Now you can work with confidence and know that being productive doesn't mean having a negative impact on the environment. The effectiveness of Toughbooks is key to success in the field.

Not only does Panasonic make environmentally-friendly computers, but its employees are environmentally-conscious. As they work diligently to produce amazing rugged laptops for consumers, they are also working in an accredited Clean Factory. This means that 98% of the waste generated is recyclable.

Here are some eco-friendly computer tips on how we as consumers can help to reduce our computers impact. Unplugging the computer can cut all power used and save energy. Another choice is to use electrical strips that detect if a computer is powered on or off. Plugging your computer into the strip will eliminate the power to all peripherals.

There are companies who need to leave their computers on at night. One simple step you can do to save energy is to change the settings to allow your computer to go into hibernate mode, contributing to the reduction of up to 80% power usage. Flat screen monitors that have a liquid crystal display also use less energy.

Be sure that you recycle your retired computers properly. Check with your local community center for a recycling program or check with the manufacturer. Save on gas and work from home on your new Panasonic Toughbooks laptop and do your part in saving the environment.
