Energy Awareness Outlets - Hang On Outlet (GALLERY)

It’s a well known fact that Standby Power (also known as, vampire power or phantom load) needlessly wastes a considerable portion of electricity to gadgets that are switched off or are in standby mode. In order to encourage you to unplug these power sucking vampires, designer Paulo Oh has come up with the Hang On Outlet design.

If one of the reasons that you do not unplug your gadgets is because the charger gets misplaced and you can’t easily find it when you need it, then the Hang On Outlet design is perfect for you. The added lip conveniently holds the plugs and keeps them organized without having to waste energy. When you need to charge, simply plug it in.

I know it is a very simple idea, but sometimes small changes to our habits can have a big effect on the long run.
