Can you leave computer on standby to save booting it up every time?

It is best to use "hibernate." That saves everything to the hard drive and shuts the system down, saving energy. It will boot back in a few seconds to wherever you left it. Standby is OK for short periods, but it uses more energy. More importantly, if there is a power fluctuation, the system will simply shut down and you will lose whatever you are working on.

But there are some times that you will need to shut down and it is a healthly choice to shut down the computer every now and then like maybe every second day?

Why does leaving appliances on standby damage the environment?
Leaving devices on "standby" means they constantly use a small amount of electrical power. This amount is much smaller than when the device is actually doing something useful. The purpose of "standby" is to have the device available almost immediately, if so required.The problem is that if the device remains in standby for a long time, the energy thus used adds up. For instance, the amount of energy used every minute might not be significant, but if you leave the device in standby all night (say, for 12 hours), it can become quite significant.
