My fix: Ghostbusting the Phantom Load

About this fix

If my electronics are draining energy when they're not in use simply because they're plugged in, then a simple fix would be to start actively unplugging things when not in use. For instance, small appliances such as my coffee pot, toaster, microwave, and iPod dock can all be plugged in as needed, and unplugged when not. I'd say this fix becomes "done" when unplugging unnecessary electronics becomes habit/second nature.
