iago, make sure you don't turn off your server. I'll die.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

I didn't shut off the server, obviously. :P

I did, however, turn off my laptop for the full day (although I sent a message to my friend first saying that I wouldn't be online all day), and I didn't use my TV. Other than that, I used the normal stuff (iPod, cellphone, etc.). I feel that that was close enough. :)

I unplugged my toaster.

The world is now a greener place, thanks to my contribution the planet will be alive *that* much longer.

Yesterday had nothing to do with the environment, at least, not according to sources I read.

tech shut off = energy saving = less dirty energy sources = green

or did you all decide to turn your electronics off because you thought it would be fun to live in the stoneage for a few hours?
