1.A large majority of the energy that powers our homes comes from fossil fuels, so unplugging reduces your energy demand and carbon emissions.
2.The vampire effect is the electricity consumed by your devices when they are plugged in but not in use. So, unplug those devices to reduce your energy use!
3.If going around to unplug every device is too tedious, don’t fear! Use power strips to power down multiple devices at the same time.
4. Lastly, buy energy efficient appliances with the Energy Star label.
