Why Ecostrip
As consumers it is our responsibility to offset our demand for electricity. The devices we use, whether for work or entertainment, consume electricity even while they are turned off. Although manufactures are beginning to realize the environmental impact of standby electronics, it will take many years and billions of dollars before all consumers replace their old electronics with energy efficient models. You can afford to start saving today with the USB Ecostrip.
The Ecostrip is a cost-effective solution that really works!
On December 19, 2007 Congress passed the first National Energy Plan in a generation, proposing a comprehensive strategy to encourage conservation and energy efficiency.
The bill offers tax incentives for government agencies, businesses, and individuals to encourage their purchase of innovative energy saving consumer products such as the Ecostrip, and establishes new aggressive energy savings goals.
How to Use It:
The Ecostrip works similar to any surge protector. Plug your PC or Mac and all of your peripherals into the Ecostrip, then attach the USB cord to your computer. There is no software to install and no tricky set-up process. When you shut down your computer the power will stop flowing to your peripherals. It's that simple. You can begin saving immediately. The sample configuration below can conservatively yield the following savings per year:
- Monitor: ~10w - save $14
