Eco-Friendly Home Improvements: Power Strips
Jun 19th, 2009 by Ke
I bet you didn’t know that even when you switch off some of your electronics, they still consume energy. This is usually the case for televisions, computers, and their peripherals. Even when they’re off they’re still adding to your electricity bill. A quick fix to this problem is by adding power strips.
You can buy a power strip in your nearest hardware store for a very reasonable price. You can set-up your computer in such a way that all its peripherals (printer, scanner, speakers, etc) are plugged into the power strip. By switching off the power strip itself, it ensures that these peripherals do not consume any energy when they’re not turned on. Therefore, your electric meter stops running.
