Standby Saturday 2007
was just the beginning
Standby
Saturday 20th October 2007, saw the first nationwide
overnight switch-off of non-essential appliances, such
as TV's, home computers and mobile phone chargers, with
the aim of significantly reducing the UK's energy wastage
caused by standby power.
The Standby Saturday campaign is not just about one
night. We all need to get into the habit of switching
off appliances properly every night, instead of leaving
them on standby.
If you're already doing this, that's great - but pleaseregister
anyway so you can see your contribution added to the
UK running total.
The
next UK Standby Saturday is on 25 October 2008
