Energy Vampires are costing you serious money

NRDC estimated that the average US household spends about $165 per year on Vampire Energy costs.

Energy Vampires contribute significantly to energy consumption and CO2 production

NRDC also estimated that if all US households reduced their Energy Vampire usage to the level of the lowest 25% Vampire Energy US households, CO2 emissions would drop by 44 million metric tons per year.

That means that if you unplug your Energy Vampires, you could reduce your CO2 footprint by over 1,000 pounds per year.
