**Ms. Watson**
Your Task: Use your classroom combined data to answer the questions below to share in how to save the world.

1. What were the biggest vampires you found? Cable box, Keurig coffee maker, desktop computer (in standby), game systems (xbox, playstation)

2. How much money could your class save each month by unplugging vampires? $36.82

3. How much CO2 would be reduced if your class unplugged the vampires each month? 309.44 lbs

4. What was the most surprising thing you found while studying this standby power unit?
 * coffee makers use a ton of standby power
 * how much carbon dioxide one item can release
 * what surprised me the most was how much money and CO2 we ‘’waste’’ on standby power
 * Around $15,600,000,000 are spent each year on standby power, which is unbelievable.
 * When I heard about the greenhouse effect and global climate change, I thought well there is no way that if just me stops using as much CO2 it would make a difference but after studying about standby energy and testing some of my devices, it may not seem like you are making a difference but in the long run it will.
