Overview
At work, [Ray White] is 10 times worse - out to educate his employees, his guests and anyone willing to listen. White considers it a victorious day if he has turned off six or 10 unused lights at his Holiday Inn in Timonium by the time he leaves at night. Lately, [Manley] has been holding off on using central air in his four-bedroom home in Catonsville. If it's not sweltering out, Manley turns on two ceiling fans, two window fans and a couple of oscillators to create a breeze in the house. He has also been working at getting his two boys, who like to fall asleep listening to music, to push the sleep button so the radio automatically shuts off in an hour. That saves 4 watts of electricity. Turning the computer off? Saves 140 to 330 watts. The television? Saves 55 to 90 watts. That light bulb? 75 watts. Using the microwave instead of the oven? It's the difference between using 1,500 watts and 5,000 watts.
