Here are few tips which i have learned from few sites:
1.Enable all the power saving features of your device.In case of computer enable power saving feature of your monitor and all the external devices connected to it,like printer.
2.In case of computer, decrease the brightness of computer screen.The brighter your screen,the more power it uses.
3.If you have CRT monitor than replace it by an LCD because LCD uses about 1/3rd power of that CRT.
4.Don't use any screen saver on your desktop.Screen saver uses more power.
5.Always look for the Energy Star certification while purchasing new electronics devices.
6.Always turn off the electronics devices after completing your work,instead of putting the device in sleep mode or stand by mode.These modes consumes more power.
7.If you are leaving your home for long period than always unplugg them completely.
8.For older appliances, use a power controlling device to reduce the energy consumption of the appliance's electric motor.
