12/7/2011 0 Comments Unplug- green action #9![]() Hi! Another green action for today! Green action 9: unplug! Recently I read that if you keep a plug in the socket, the device attatched to it is - although in small amounts- still using up electricity. Even if it's "off" and not used. We call that "sneak consumption". -Don't exactly know what the English word for it would be...? If you know, please tell me by commenting below the post! Just one device will use up next to nothing, but if you add up all the devices/plugs it can become quite a lot. Waisted 'stand-by' energy! It will cost you up to 2 euro per Watt per year (approximately a 100 euro per year ) according to Greenchoise's website. That is quite a lot of money! Sorry, the site is in Dutch, but it shows chargestops that will help you saving on sneak consumption. http://www.greenchoice.nl/thuis/energie-besparen/besparingsproducten/sluipverbruik Hope you can find them in your country as well! I already knew that it is better to turn off devices, not to leave them 'stand-by', but didn't know it was even better to unplug. So: a good tip for both the environment and our wallets; Save energy? Unplug!!! I've checked all the sockets in my house and there were actually quite a few 'un-plugging possibilities'. But the refrigerator I kept plugged in... ;) Niene.nu ![]() Hi! Weer een groene actie vandaag! Groene actie 9: unplug! Ik las onlangs dat als je een stekker in t stopcontact laat zitten, je toch stroom verbruikt, ondanks dat het apparaat dat aan de stekker zit uit is! Dat wist ik niet. Wel dat t beter was om niet apparaten op 'stand-by' te laten staan, dus daar lette ik al op, maar dit was nieuw. Zeker een goeie tip, want volgens de site van Greenchoise kan 'sluipverbruik' (zo noem je dat) wel 2 euro per jaar per Watt!! Dat telt op! Hier de site waar dat staat en met schakelaars die je kunt gebruiken om sluipverbruik tegen te gaan; goeie! Bekijk de link maar http://www.greenchoice.nl/thuis/energie-besparen/besparingsproducten/sluipverbruik Dus vandaag een goeie tip voor en t milieu en onze portemonnaie! Energie besparen? Unplug! Ik heb 'es even bekeken hoe dat er bij mij thuis voor staat en kon inderdaad een aantal apparaten 'ont-pluggen'. De koelkast heb ik toch maar niet ont-plugged... ;) Niene.nu
