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? By far the largest vampire we discovered was coffee makers. Every coffee maker tested used at least 5 watts of standby power.

2. How much money could your class save each month by unplugging vampires? Our class would save a total of $47.15 per month if we each even 5 typical vampires in our homes.

3. How much CO2 would be reduced if your class unplugged the vampires each month? 786 pounds of CO2!

4. What was the most surprising thing you found while studying this standby power unit? That so much power is wasted for no apparent reason. One student said, "how much humans are affecting the earth with little things that we don't see is making a huge impact on global warming." The students were surprised that standby power can produce so many pounds of CO2. And they all agreed there were more vampires than they thought!
