Many electronic devices keep drawing power even when you’re not using them.
You can save energy at home and at the office by using a power strip for your computer, monitor and other electronics and turning the power off to all your devices when you’re done using them.
Depending on the devices, a SMART power strip might also be a worthwhile investment.
A SMART power strip monitors the power activity and will shut off power to your devices when they go into standby mode.
