unplug your tv!!!

[image error]

I must say I love love love unplugging my TV after I'm done watching. I also love keeping my VCR/DVD player unplugged until I need to use it. The only thing that stays plugged is all the time in my DVR/Tivo type machine since it won't record anything if I unplug it.

Here's my system: We have these 3 plugs for the TV TV DVD DVR and they're all labeled. This helps me to know what I can unplug after I'm done watching TV or watching a movie. And for some reason having this system seriously makes me deliriously happy! Every time I unplug the TV or the DVD/VCR player I know that I am saving soo much energy which is the best feeling!

When electronics or appliances or really anything with a power cord is plugged into a socket they're still using up energy. It seems weird I know but it's true. So if you start doing this and unplug things when you aren't using them you can save about 50 on all of your energy bills... Not to mention saving the Earth's resources.

This is such an easy thing to do I'd love it for you all to give it a try! Just take 5 minutes and label your cords. Keep them unplugged and then whenever you need to use something you'll know which cord to plug in. It's so easy and makes such a big difference.

Let me know if any of you have energy saving tricks of your own!
