Standby Saturday is 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.



 

Switch off overnight, every night!

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.
