This is one of the EASIEST ways to save energy:
Go to your entertainment area. Are all your boxes plugged into a power strip? If not, go to the store and get one for under ten bucks.
Then, once you are sure all your boxes and your television are plugged into the power strip, shut off the strip.
Simple.
(You may want to keep your cable or dish box out of this scenario since some rely upon remote programming and special timers.)
Components when they are off, yet plugged in, use a load of electricity. Yes, the official quantitative amount is A LOAD.
So take a few minutes to reconfigure your plugs into a power strip and after you are done watching, listening, enjoying your good self, shut it all down. It’s takes just the flip of a switch to help us move toward energy independence.

Not to sound like a broken record but.....when I was in England the only thing that remained on all the time was the refrigerator. And they only have the little dormitory-style ones. They shop everyday. At the greengrocer, the butcher and the bakery.....
