2. Leaving my PC screen switched on during the lunch
break prolongs its life and doesn't waste much energy
Switch it OFF. How many office PC screens are thrown away because they have broken
down, and how many because they have become superseded by more modern
technology?

3. It uses less energy if I leave fluorescent lights on
Switch them off. In their start-up phase, they use a lot more energy than when they
are running continuously, however the period to reach energy use parity is
generally in the region of a minute and a half, and never more than 5 minutes

Urban MythsUrban Myths
4. 10% of all energy consumed at home is now
related to appliances left on standby
Switch them off. A large number of electrical products - from air conditioners to VCRs - cannot be switched completely off without unplugging the device or turning it off at a power strip. These products draw power 24 hours a day, often without the knowledge of
the consumer.

5. With global warming I won't need as much
insulation in the future
Climate Change will not provide a nice even increase in temperature. It's likely to be
accompanied by greater instability in weather, so homes will need just as much
insulation to deal with cold spells
