Eco tip for the third week in August
Save electricity
Did you know it saves electricity if you turn off appliances at the plug rather than leaving them on standby?
Modern conveniences, such as televisions and phone chargers, are designed for instant-on functionality. This convenience, however, comes at a cost: even when ‘off,’ many devices continue to draw a small amount of power. This invisible drain, while seemingly insignificant collectively consumes a substantial energy waste across homes and entire nation.
The impact of this is far-reaching. Studies have shown that standby power can account for up to 10% of a household’s total energy use. Multiplied across millions of homes, this translates into a staggering amount of wasted energy, contributing significantly to the climate change we are now experiencing. Would if be that inconvenient just to switch appliances completely off?
"The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it." – Genesis 2:15
