Recycling Tip For The Week… Save Money on Your Electric Bill Just like a water faucet that drips, your electrical appliances leak energy and cost you money. Even when they are turned off, elements inside electrical appliances stay on. Feel your printer next time you turn it off is it hot several hours later. Check your DVD player is there a read-out? Look at your microwave are there readouts. Check out your stereo see those little red lights? How about your GFI plugs is there a little light? Scientists estimate that small appliances continually use up to 50 watts of electric power or 5 percent of an average home’s monthly electricity use. When multiplied by the billions of appliances in America, no wonder the United States leads the world in carbon emissions. One solution is to plug every electrical appliance you can into a power strip and turn the power strip off at night and definitely when you go on vacation. This practice not only saves electricity, but also can prevent an electrical fire or inadvertent shock. For more information, call Recycle Utah or go to www.recycleutah.org.
