Share this list with them of nine ways to send them off with green gear that is as easy on the eye as it is on the environment, and hopefully they’ll be as sold on the products as you are.

Smart Power Strip
You know you should turn off that power strip whenever you head to class. But you have so many things on your mind (class, parties, tests, parties, parties), how can you make yourself remember to flip the switch? Now you don’t have to remember. This strip lets you plug in a primary device, such as a TV or a computer, and then several secondary devices, such as a DVD player, printer or speakers. When you turn the primary device off, the strip automatically cuts power to all the secondary devices, saving up to 72% of the electricity your systems would use if they were left plugged in to a standard outlet strip.
