Simply by plugging my appliances into power strips and turning them off every night, I have reduced my electricity bill by over 10%! I have a surge-protecting power strip in the following rooms, supporting electronics that would otherwise drain power constantly even while turned off.
Kitchen
Microwave, electic hot water kettle, coffee maker.
Office
Computers, printer, router, lamp, paper shredder.
Living Room
TV, VHS/DVD player, stereo receiver, aromatherapy diffuser.
National Geographic has a video on these "Voltage Vampires." Make this simple change in your habits and save money while reduing your carbon footprint.
