There is no better time than summer to start reducing your energy use, as well as your carbon footprint with some innovative green gadgets.

The first step in lowering energy use is determing how much each appliance uses in the first place. Plug your appliances into the Kill A Watt, and an easy-to-read meter will tell you how much energy is being used.

What you also probably know already is that ovens use a lot of energy, which is not entirely necessary, especially during summer. The alternative during summer could be a Sun Oven, or even a barbeque, because we all know meat and food taste better made on a barbeque, not to mention it’s much healthier.

There are now several types of “smart” power strips that can be set to shut off when your devices are in standby mode, or that can be set to power off during times of the day when your electronics or appliances are not in use. My guess is you should check out the Smart Strip Power Strip.
