By disconnecting unused cell phone chargers, TVs, DVD players, computer monitors, toaster ovens – even power tools – you can save enough to pay for a month or more of electricity each year.

It’s even easier when you connect your computer equipment and your TV/Cable/Satellite and gaming/audio systems to power strips. Just one switch to turn off the power and turn on the savings.
