Vampires Don’t Suck your Blood
They suck your energy!
Ya know those little lights that illuminate your house even when everything is off and you are not using an appliance? They are everywhere from your dvd player to your sleeping computer, from your cell phone charger to your microwave. Turns out those lights aren’t so little after all.
The good people at GOOD magazine have put together a nice video reminding us of the amount of energy those miniscule green and red stand by lights waste. Video highlights: “Phantom” loads cost Americans $4 billion a year and account for 1% of US green house gas emissions.
Time to get a smart strip.
