Facts & Numbers
- The average American consumes 6 times more energy than the world average. (Brandeis University)
- According to the EPA, the United States produces approximately 2,700 pounds of carbon per person per year (18% of total CO2 emissions). This comes from operating our homes, and most of that is from the energy used to power electrical appliances.
- The earth receives more energy from the sun in just one hour than the world uses in a whole year.
- When you turn on an incandescent light bulb, only 10 percent of the electricity used is turned into light. The other 90 percent is wasted as heat. (Brandeis University)
- Most devices continue to consume power when they're switched off, sometimes as much power as when they're on! A surprisingly large number of electrical products -- from air conditioners to VCRs -- cannot be switched completely off without unplugging the device. These products draw power 24 hours a day, often without the knowledge of the consumer. (Berkeley Lab)
