A Clean Energy Future for New Jersey

Don't Be an Energy Vampire - Unplug!

Did you know that every day energy vampires are sucking the power from your home and the money from your wallet?  Energy vampires are devices that use energy while they're not turned on, just by being plugged in.  The worst culprits are computers, t.v.'s and cable boxes.  Energy vampires are responsible for 4-5% of your home's energy use.  

How can you save energy and money by defeating energy vampires?  The best way to ensure that you use only the energy you need is to unplug your devices. Your computer and printer don't need power when you're not home and your t.v. doesn't need it when your'e asleep. You can also set up energy stations in your house with power strips.  Connect your devices to a strip and a simple switch will put an end to those nasty energy vampires.  

Energy efficiency is the best way to reach a clean energy future.  It reduces pollution, saves money and lowerst the cost of energy for all customers.  Support energy efficiency policies in New Jersey and start in your home by defeating energy vampires.
