#13: Identify Power Sources
Brace yourself for a jaw-dropping revelation from the Department of Energy! Your seemingly innocent appliances, from the humble DVD player to the indispensable coffeemaker, are undercover energy guzzlers! Shockingly, they devour a whopping 75 percent of their energy even when they are supposedly ‘off-duty’. Yes, you heard right! These sneaky energy vampires are draining power even when they’re switched off!
Can you believe that your appliances are energy hogs even when they’re idle? It’s true! But here’s a nifty trick to curb their gluttonous habits. Use a power strip! Yes, it’s that simple. Just plug in your appliances, then flick it off once you’re done. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, unplug each appliance individually. It’s like a fun, energy-saving scavenger hunt in your own home!
