Appliances and electronics are using energy if they're plugged in. Most electronic devices that can be turned on/off with a remote, like TVs and gaming consoles, keep using power when they’re off. Appliances with digital clocks and devices plugged into power adaptors are also energy vampires. Here's one easy solution: plug your devices into a surge protector or power strip with an on/off switch. That way, you can cut the power to all of them with the press of a button!
You can also:
- Adjust screens/monitors to automatically power down
- Unplug electronic devices (and their charging docks) after charging them
