Way 8 : Unplug Appliances

Way 8!

Unplug appliances that you don't use frequently. Most electronics have a standby mode that siphons energy even when not in use, or at the very least have small lights that need electricity to power them. Cell phone chargers, laptops, televisions, stereos — there's a whole list of items that can easily be unplugged when not in use. Try using a power strip for groups of electronic items. One flick of the switch and it's all off.



This is it for the year. Please check back in the late winter/early spring for a continuation of Growing Out of the Box!

Thank you everyone for reading my posts this year, and I look forward to writing more once the holidays have wound down. I need to celebrate graduation after all :)
