Electricity wasted by unused appliances

Do you leave your Stand-By option on? Do you know that this causes a lot of electricity to go wasted?

Well, Korea has now established, that a total of 11% "of the nation’s total electricity consumption was wasted by active standby that occurs when unused electrical appliances are left plugged in."

Okay, it depends on the load usage of the different products - in Korea, the Wattage is higher than in the US, but nevertheless, it has to be realised that this is a way to save electricity, that small amounts make up a lot, and that ultimately, we give earth and environment a short rest.
