Unplugged!

Avoid phantom power use. Unplug such devices, or plug everything into a power strip that you can turn off when not in use.

We can easily save energy and reduce pollution. We can reduce greenhouse gases by millions of tons. All we have to do is turn off our appliances when we are not using them. Phantom/vampire power is the energy sucked by plugged-in appliances that are on standby mode or otherwise turned off, appliances and electronics left on for extended periods of time, even though no one is using them. Those glowing red and green lights, the illuminated digital clocks and the visual displays that greet you when you walk into a darkened room are all consuming energy.

Some people run their TV all day or leave their computer screens on. Other home appliances such as  DVD players, modems’, computers’, laptops, electronic entertainment equipment,  phone chargers, ceiling fans’  and space heaters’ can be wasteful power users.

Don’t leave those appliances on. All this wasted energy adds up. Save money and reduce carbon emissions by taking the time to turn off these appliances and devices when not in use.
