Why not use a coffee system like the (name removed by moderator – please don’t promote products)? They conserve power with an auto-off feature that can be set to reduce power to next-to-nothing even after just a few minutes of inactivity! I have one and I absolutely love it, brews the perfect amount of coffee for me (1 cup and not an entire pot)…more conservation ; )

I treat my sonicare toothbrush as if I’m on vacation. It says that the toothbrush can go up to 2 weeks without recharging so that is what I do at home, use it for as long as I can until it runs out.

I know in my house, I’m continually chasing after my kids and turning off light switches. I’m thinking about replacing some of the switches with the kind that incorporate a motion detection feature – just like we have in our offices.

I will have to keep you posted on whether I win the electric toothbrush debate.

It’s true. We often have too many things plugged 24/7 when we only use them for a minute or two. I’ll start unplugging them. We have energy vampires in our midst and we don’t even know it!
