A lot of household and office appliances use power even when they appear to be turned off! The new journal “AudioVideoFoto-BILD” reported in its December 2003 edition that the amount of electricity used by a non-running television set can incur annual costs of up to 3,50 Euro, a DVD player up to 10 Euro, DVD recorder up to 32,61 Euro and a loudspeaker system up to 70 Euro And this is only the tip of the iceberg! According to the German Federal Environmental Agency (UBA), more than 4 billion Euro (Dated: 2006) are wasted annually in this manner and the trend is on rise!
