Good simple tips.
I have my work computer setup on a power strip and click it off when I leave the office. I do the same at home.
Monitors still draw power in sleep mode. It’s not much but why not click the switch and make it 0?
Exactly, one simple switch makes a big difference!
we started plugging the laundry machine only when is washing day and creating the habit of unplugging it right away when it’s done to avoid that energy leak
Thank you for your passing by! 💚
