Beware Of Vampires…

Consumption happens even when you’re not looking.  Problem is that you invited it in.  Trent at The Simple Dollar clued me in to “smart power strips” which cut power to devices on the strip based on the on/off status of a master device.  For example, plug the tv, vcr, dvd player, and game console all into one of these strips, and judging by the above chart, the dvd player should get master status.  You’ll not only reduce your energy dependence but save hundreds of dollars a year in the process!
