At the Wealth Zone Blog we write about all aspects of wealth; making it, keeping it and attitudes of success.
In this entry I wanted to mention some products to help save electricity. Many of us have electronic accessories in our house that never really "turn off" even after you have pressed the off button. Cell phone chargers still consume small amounts of electricity even when no cell phone is attached for charging, Many TVs, especially the older tube type, will keep the tube charged for quicker starts. The examples are endless.

Belkin produces an interesting power strip that has 6 switchable outlets and 2 always on outlets. The switchable outlets are controlled by a remote control that you can mount on the wall like a light switch or - use it like a remote!
The Belkin BG108000-04 Conserve Outlet Surge Protector with Remote Switch is a great solution for media cabinets and computers, among others.

Next on our list of handy power saving gadgets is the Smart Strip LCG3 Energy Saving Power Strip with Autoswitching Technology.
This device senses the flow of electricity and when it reduces to a trickle, it shuts the outlet off.

If you aren't sure if a device is using any electricity when it's off or want to find out how much it uses, then check out the Kill A Watt EZ Electricity Usage Monitor. It can be used to calculate the cost of running 1 device for a period of time based on your electric rates.
