52 Weeks to Make the World a Better Place: Week 21 - Turn OFF the television when not in use, don't leave it on standby!

There are various estimates for the average standby power-use on televisions, from fractions of a watt to over 10W, depending on model. And of course, this is 24/7 power consumption, so the low figure can deceive concerning the contribution to overall household electricity bill. But the fact remains that IT REALLY DOESN'T NEED TO BE ON STANDBY! Of all the common domestic electrical appliances, the TV is one that's pretty much guaranteed not to require power to keep 'residual' functions ticking over. So it's just pure laziness. So stop it!
