Here’s another valuable Green Tip from Focus on Energy: Electronics like computers, DVD players, stereos and TVs draw power, even when turned off.  This is called “phantom load”.  Reduce your annual energy costs by plugging these electronics into a power strip and switching it off when items aren’t in use.  But that’s just the start.  There are so many ways to green the way you live and save energy and money.  For more Green Tips from Wisconsin’s energy efficiency and renewable energy resource, visit focusonenergy.com.
