Clock Change Challenge

There’s a lot to do. But, hey – you got an extra hour, right?

In our post-industrial world, our obsession with time is nearly comical (just ask Johnny Depp who plays the Mad Hatter in an upcoming film). We put clocks on almost everything, from coffee makers to stereos to bathroom mirrors. But, with each clock we add, we also increase the need for energy. The average clock on an appliance can burn enough energy to light a bulb for 10 hours. The next time you're in need of a gadget or appliance, see if you can get one without a clock. That way, the money you waste on vampire power will disappear.
