Going Green Quiz 1

True or false? Appliances that are turned off don't use any electricity.


False.

"Many appliances continue to use energy for features like clocks and remote control sensors even when they're turned off. According to the Department of Energy, the electricity consumed by televisions that are turned off but still plugged in costs U.S. households more than $750 million a year." (National Geographic Society, 2009)
