Power Down Challenge
Power Down Challenge
Stop phantom power by unplugging electronic devices, or using a power strip and turning it off when not in use.
You’ll save energy and reduce greenhouse gas pollution. Here are some clues to help you recognize a product that draws power continuously:
- It has a remote control.
- It requires an external power supply.
- It has a digital display, LED status light, or digital clock.
- It contains or is a battery charger.
- It has a soft-touch keypad.
WHY?
You can calculate the difference by measuring the electricity used by each of your electronic devices with a kill-a-watt meter. Look up the cost per kilowatt hour ($/KWH) on your electric bill. Then, multiply your savings by the day, week or year.
