The Geeked-Out Green Guy at Work

Electronic devices are never really "off" — at least not if they are still plugged in. But who can remember to unplug the TV every time the Three's Company rerun is over? You don't have to worry with this smart power strip, which senses when your devices are shut down and prevents them from drawing power. Simply plug the main device (computer, TV, etc) in the primary outlet and it's peripherals in the others. This will brighten up the day of anyone with an array of electronics that's tired of wasting money and energy. This high-tech surge protector saves up to 72% of the energy a system uses and will eliminate 640 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. (gaiam.com, $39)
