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?

Computers and game consoles.

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

About $12.

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

About 1/3 lbs.

4. What was the most surprising thing you found while studying this standby power unit?

The biggest thing our class realized was that even though the impact we have individually may seem small, both in terms of how much standby energy we each use as well as the actions we can take to curb standby energy usage, when you take everybody's actions it adds up to a lot.

Attach your classroom spreadsheet used for these calculations.
