One For All Energy Saver

You wouldn't think that humble remote control could be a eco-warrior but One For All, the company that specialises in remote control decluttering has a new remote that will not only take the place of all you other remotes but will make sure that your TV, DVD, PS3 and stereo all get switched off properly and not just left on stand-by.

The One For All Energy Saver remote comes pre-programmed to control the Power Plug, so you just press the special energy-saving green button on the remote to make an energy saving of 90 per cent.  According to the company, a typical set of equipment uses 9.7 Watts an hour if left on standby but by using the 'Energy Saver', this can be cut down to 0.9 Watts.

According to its research, an LCD telly consumes 1.5 Watts per hour in standby mode, a total of 11.49 Kilowatts per year on standby assuming the TV is in use three hours a day. A satellite receiver uses 6 Watts an hour or 45.99 Kilowatts annually. And a DVD recorder consumes 2.2 Watts per hour totalling 16.86 Kilowatts a year on standby.  It reckons that the remote could save up to 74.34 Kilowatts a year or 44 Kg of carbon dioxide.
