A good start to conserving energy would be to unplug the computer when it is not in use. If you are shopping for power supply computers look for ones labeled HE, high efficiency in terms of conservation of energy. Another labe to look for is 80 PLUS which verifies that the energy efficency has been tested.

You can dim the brightness so it's not using so much power to keep it bright. Not having a lot of programs up at once will also help. And set your computer to use a lower amount of RAM. But most computers have a power saver option that does this for you.

How does solar energy reduce the use of fossil fuels?

Most countries burn fossil fuels to generate electricity.If they used solar power to generate electricity, thenThey would not have to use so much fossil fuel.Solar Energy itself does not reduce the use of fossil fuels.
