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? Coffee Maker, Iron (?), toaster oven

2. How much money could your class save each month by unplugging vampires? $55.33

3. How much CO2 would be reduced if your class unplugged the vampires each month? 502.98 pounds

4. What was the most surprising thing you found while studying this standby power unit? How many products actually use energy even when they’re off. That even when products are off they still use power which costs someone and it adds up. A lot of products use energy when they’re off. There are a ton of items that do not use standby power (and that’s good) but there are also a lot of items that do use standby power (which is bad for the U.S., mostly) It was surprising to see that not many people react to the little use of standby power in their household, but it adds up so quickly in the state! Each individual uses standby power, so the amount of CO 2 released is growing everyday.
