1. A computing device comprising:
- a processor; and
memory storing code executable by the processor to;
monitor resource consumption of the computing device pertaining to a user'"'"'s operation of the computing device;
in response to a user action on the computing device requesting information regarding resource consumption of the computing device, present information regarding the paper and electrical resource consumption to the user, the information comprising a graphical representation comparing the electrical resource consumption data with best practices data stored in a database within the memory, wherein the best practice data is a target energy efficiency of a national standard; and
provide a recommendation to the user regarding how the user can reduce the resource consumption.
