Excellent tip. Such an easy thing to avoid, phantom electricity loss. We’ve placed power bars for our family room entertainment area, home office, and so on and have gotten into the habit of “last one turns off”.

You should check out something called the Kill-a-Watt made by a company called 3P. It measures how much energy an appliance etc. uses when the appliance is “off” or in use.

I work on a green initiative at Amazon.com in Seattle, and we’re trying to have informed visitors to our site shape a ranked list of the best eco-friendly and organic products (like the nifty Kill-a-Watt), so that mainstream consumers can consider green options when shopping. If anyone would like to add their insights, I’d certainly invite you to add your input at http://www.amazon.com/green. Cheers.
