Most people now know that leaving electronic appliances on standby is a bad idea, and that if swathes of the population ceased leaving the red lights blinking overnight, then we'd no doubt save shedloads of energy.
But you may be surprised to find that your own contribution alone could be making a big difference. Today's households tend to have so many gadgets on the go that individual residences can make the difference between a substantial amount of wasted energy or saving it. This online calculator will tell you exactly how much electricity your appliances are using – both in 'on' and 'standby' mode – depending on wattage. It will then calculate a yearly cost both in £ and C02. The power is, literally, in your hands!
