Do The Green Thing: Plug Out

Home > Plug Out >

Those chargers and speakers that you've left on needlessly, that light on in the other room, those machines on standby. While they look harmless enough, they're sucking your household power supply like needy greedy babies and are costing untold tonnes of C02. Tune into the waste and Plug Out.

Frankie and Mr. Boots Plug Out

I love the movie but how many trees died to make it...

While I was raised without a TV and before computers, I have adapted to the new era. However I also have been an environmental activist since I was a kid in the 60's so I always look for ways to save the planet. I don't even own a cell phone of any kind (less chargers), all my appliances except the fridge are on power strips, and off when not in use, all my lamps are either CFL or LED (LED is just night lights at the moment, but when the prices come down...) and except for the computer everything is turned of and the zipstrip off at night (the 'puter is on automatic power down cycle). Sure it takes time to get things up and running.... what 2 seconds? My electric is already using an alternative source option, and I hope someday soon to put a few solar panels on the roof. Even my yard lights are low (less light pollution so I can see the stars) solar LED lights ;-)

I'm putting in a home office soon, but everything will be put on power strips for easy switching off.
