Standby Britain: How it fuels our energy crisis

news.independent.co.uk...

Appliances on standby pump one million tons of carbon into the atmosphere. Wasted energy of appliances on standby could power 400,000 homes. Up to 85 per cent of power used by a video recorder is consumed on standby. Government says Britain would save 240,000 tons of C02 emissions by switching off televisions

It really makes you wonder doesn`t it , maybe we all really should press the off button instead of hitting standby on the remote.

SOO TRUE

I turn off everything before going to sleep.... only takes a mo when locking the doors and all that CO2
