The Configuration Manager 2007 R3 Power Environmental Impact report displays the following information:

The Power Environmental Impact report calculates the amount of CO2 saved (in tons) using the time that a computer or monitor was turned off in a 24 hour period. Whenever the computer or monitor is turned off (or in sleep or hibernate) during this period, it is considered to be saving CO2. By applying a power plan that turns off computers and monitors that are not being used, you can increase the amount of CO2 saved.
