Get Rid of Energy Vampires!
Guest Author - Lili Pintea-Reed

There are ENERGY VAMPIRES IN YOUR HOUSE! No I don't mean oil companies, or that annoying mooching relative. There are all sorts of devices that people forget and leave constantly on which drain as much energy as a light bulb left constantly lit. They work slowly like a dripping faucet and are the water board torture on your electric bill. FIND THESE VAMPIRES NOW!!!

1) Computer Printer. Many people forget and leave their computer printer constantly on. Unless you work in an office which prints every minute or so, this is wasting energy.

2) Lights ON. If you are going to be out of a room for more than a minute, turn off the lights. The show "Myth Busters" checked this out and it was true. Save money. Turn off that light.

3) Cell Phone Charger. Many people leave this on constantly. Click off.

4) Video Games. Many people leave the video game on or charging when not necessary.

5)Coffee maker. Some people leave the eternally running coffee maker. Ukkkkk. Bad for coffee. Bad for your energy bill.

6)The Television. Some people lave the television on continuously. When not in the room -- turn it off.

Walk around your house checking for anything that might need to turned off. Do you really need your computer left on constantly. Do you forget and leave the screen on? Do your kids leave the TV and video games on around the clock? Make it a family project to try and save power, money, and the world's resources by Exorcising the Energy Vampires in your home!
