So much energy is just wasted for nothing and so much pollution is caused by producing this wasted/lose/lost energy.<BR/>I believe, there should have been much more done by the government about strict technological conditions for all electric/electronic devices, which could be on sale in the country.<BR/>That means just basic use of the power/authority for planning - higher technical standards, which should include strict, automatic saving modes in all devices.<BR/>Government could also afford 'total media bombardment' about energy saving tips for all citizen in educational/preventive purpose.<BR/><BR/>p.s.<BR/>More efficient use of energy is far the best, the cheapest and the easiest way of lowering carbon emissions and other pollution.Curt Sutoriushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06299249451432539747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699038716958250363.post-304143361414693432008-03-21T09:02:00.000-07:002008-03-21T09:02:00.000-07:002008-03-21T09:02:00.000-07:00These are one of the worst things for our environment. Myself and a team of high school students are trying to make people more aware of this horrible topic.

There is a great product called Smart Power Strip which you can buy at SmartHomesUSA and a bunch of other places. It knows how to shut down your phathom energy loads. I wrote a post about it on my website called "How to lessen your carbon footprint without working at it." Take a look and it will explain how this device works. I also think Fake Plastic Fish talks about where you can buy these devices reconditioned so they are cheaper. anna www.green-talk.comAnna Hackmanwww.green-talk.comnoreply@blogger.com
