Consume less electricity

I will reduce my energy consumption by unplugging electronic devices when they are not in use. Many electronics draw electricity called "phantom power" even when they are not on. To beat this, plug as many electronics as possible into a power strip and turn it off when you are not using them. The phantom power used in industrialized countries alone results in the production of 75 million tons of CO2 emitted and billions of dollars wasted. - Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook.
