Monitor your electricity

Steps to Take

Easy steps: 

  1. Find devices that you use infrequently and keep these unplugged. Remove and unplug old speakers, BlueRays, DVD players, VCRs, gaming devices, and landline chargers that you rarely use.
  2. Put clusters of devices that are usually used together on smart power strips and use the switch to turn the devices on only when you use them (e.g., TV+DVD+cable box or computer+monitor+printer).
  3. Unplug smartphone and other electronics chargers when not in use or use a plug in on/off switch to cut off power when not in use.
