Take Action! | Sustainability | SIU

Hello Saluki Green Action Team!   

Did you know: Not-in-use devices that are plugged in rack up $19 billion in electricity bills every year in the United States, and accounts for roughly a quarter of the average person's electricity bill. 

Take Action: Unplug your devices when they’re not in use! These include: 

• TVs. 
• DVR/DVD players. 
• Game consoles. 
• Coffee machines. 
• Speakers. 
• Internet routers. 
• Cell phone and laptop chargers. 
• Any other electronic devices. 

You can also use a power strip/surge protector to group certain appliances together. Then you have the ability to turn them all on and off at one time!

Keep up the great work,
