A surprising amount of energy is used by appliances and electronics staying plugged in even when they are not in use. These include computers, stereos, VCRs, DVD players, cell phone chargers and most kitchen appliances. The most simple solution is to install a power strip and turn it off when the electronics or appliances are not in use. Products like P3’s Kill a Watt can measure the electricity usage of anything you plug in.
