Posted By: SeretDo a power audit. Pick up a little plug-in power meter such as a Kill-A-Watt, make sure it's one that can read accurately down <10W, some can't. Figure out what everything is using on standby and as part of it's regular duty cycle. It sounds like you might be mostly targeting standby losses. Arm yourself with data and the opportunities will make themselves obvious.
Posted By: brazenscrolllook at finding a way to get the kids to TURN STUFF OFF!!!!Electricity is about 18p/kWh, a Big Mac is about £2.40/kWh, so maybe sanctions would help. So for every 13 kWh they save (about a 50W load on for 8 hours a day per month) you can buy them a burger and it will only cost you the transport price.
