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!!!! They made up almost 75% of the standby power used in our room. The TV was also a big vampire.


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

$97.46 is the amount of money our class would save in a month by unplugging electrical items we aren't using.


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

1624 pounds per month.


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

How much power computers use on standby! The students wanted to turn them off immediately. Also, the fact that a resting Belkin monitor actually pulls .5 watts got a lot of the students wondering "What else?" in terms of things that consume energy when not in use.
