Phantom Power

Electronic devices left plugged in, even when turned off, still draw power. That's called phantom power or standby power, and it's costing you money. It's also costing our planet even more with wasteful carbon emissions. Plug the following electronics into a power bar with a timer or auto shut-off and make sure they are off during periods of inactivity. For example: television, home theatre system, computer, monitor, printer, scanner, rechargeable devices (MP3 players, cell phones, battery chargers etc.), game console.
By reducing this unnecessary power use, you could help save up to 15% on your electricity use.
