In the previous year (until October 2007) my electricity consumption was 3,062 kwH. Since then I replaced all lamps with the low energy variant, and pull the plug on any electrical device I don't use. The projected consumption for this year (since October 2007) is currently at 1,928 kwH. About 33% less!
Saving a lot of energy appears rather simple: pull the plug. In my case: microwave, digital television, radio, computer (the network card keeps on running while the computer is turned off), and cable modem. All these devices consume energy also when "turned off".
Pulling the plug: it really is that simple!
I've always wondered how much power is used for appliances that are plugged in but not turned on. Unplugging sounds like a good idea, but so many things have to be reprogrammed (especially that have clocks) every time they are used, it is not really a viable idea. I'm going around my house to see what I can do. Thanks for this post!

Reducing energy by 1/3 is quite incredible. This is a statistic everyone should know about. Unfortunately, it's not that easy to "pull the plug" on many appliances, but we should all do what we can.

Saving 1/3 in energy is BIG! Everyone should know about this and do what they can. (Sorry if there are two posts, I think I did something wrong with the first one.)
