DON'T LEAVE APPLIANCES ON STANDBY
TVs: On average a traditional cathode ray tube (CRT) television set uses 100w of power when in use and about two watts on standby. Newer LCD and plasma screens are higher users of energy, with the largest models consuming up to 400w when in use and about four watts on standby.
Computers: It may not be practical to turn a computer on-and-off if it is to be used throughout the day, however, the Energy Saving Trust suggests turning the monitor off when not in use. Peripherals like printers and scanners should also be turned off when not in use.
