Why does leaving appliances on standby damage the environment?
Leaving devices on "standby" means they constantly use a small amount of electrical power. This amount is much smaller than when the device is actually doing something useful. The purpose of "standby" is to have the device available almost immediately, if so required.The problem is that if the device remains in standby for a long time, the energy thus used adds up. For instance, the amount of energy used every minute might not be significant, but if you leave the device in standby all night (say, for 12 hours), it can become quite significant.
