How can we consciously save electricity at home.

One way to save electricity at home is to be aware that each of the devices we have connected to the outlet uses electricity. Also it's unused, as long as it's not turned off. Some will probably say, unused equipment consumes as much as nothing. Are you sure? Do you know how much electricity your home equipment consumes? The laptop consumes 30 watts of energy. Although we are pacing on it for 8 hours, it needs electricity to charge for a period of 4 hours. Let's convert: 30 W x 4 hours = 120 kWh 120 kWh / 1000 = 0.12 kWh 0.12 kWh x 0.77 PLN (price) = 0.09 PLN (amount per day) 0.09 x 365 days - 33.77 PLN (amount per year) Daily electricity consumption (averaged data): vacuum cleaner - 3 kWh induction hob - 2.05 kWh electric oven - 1.36 kWh refrigerator - 0.74 kWh electric kettle - 0.66 kWh dishwasher - 0.65 kWh washing machine - 0.55 kWh stationary computer - 0.54 kWh TV set - 0.35 kWh microwave oven - 0.14 kWh iron - 0.07 kWh charger while the phone is charging - 0.0069 kWh. In addition, we use various other equipment: audio equipment, home theater, amplifiers, coffee grinders, food processors, hair dryers, curlers, electric toothbrushes, heaters, boilers, air conditioners, only when we start to use these devices rationally and consciously, we can see that even saving a few zlotys a month will translate into a large amount per year. We'll also get into the habit of turning off the equipment once we're done using it.
