THE POWER TO GO GREEN

July 6th, 2010 . by Steve Greenberg

It isn’t that people don’t want to go green—it’s just that they don’t want any hassles along the way.  That’s why the inventor behind the EcoStrip came up with this product. This surge protecting power strip plugs into the wall and has a USB plug that goes into your computer’s USB port.  When you turn off the computer, the EcoStrip turns off all of the computer peripherals (as in the printers, speakers, monitors etc.) that are plugged into the power strip.  Most of us normally don’t turn off all of the power sucking accessories.  The EcoStrip does it automatically—so you don’t have to even think about it.  It can save consumers $50-$150/year  USB EcoStrip 2.0  http://www.ecostrip.com  $45
