#033_How to Kill the Vampires in Your House

Did you know that vampires are not a thing of the past? There is actually a vampire culture that is alive and well in our modern age. But they keep that a secret of course. However, when we all think of vampires we automatically envision the vicious creatures of folklore that rise from their graves at night and suck the vital essence out of the living.  

And one more fun fact, there is actually a vampire killing kit. It’s kind of interesting and if you want to see it I have a link to a page that shows you the real kit.  It contains a crucifix, mallet, wooden stakes, rosary, prayer book, a pistol, along with some other assorted articles. 

But, what most of us never really think about is the vampires that actually live in our homes. But, unlike the vampire killing kit of previous times, you can actually kill your vampires with your fingers.  

What I am talking about here is vampire power. The one thing that we rarely think about yet it is slowly sucking the life out of us and the planet that we live on.  

The average number of internet connected devices is now up to 10 per household. But that does not take into account all of the other electric of electronic devices. Some sources I reviewed stated on average there were as many as 65 devices or other equipment in American homes that are plugged in or permanently connected to electricity. This includes TVs, DVD players, coffee makes, blenders, washer, dryer, refrigerators, smart phones, computers, security cameras, lights, fans, sprinkler systems, routers, and more. 

This idle power makes up almost 23% of the electricity usage in every home. That is a huge waste and has an enormous environmental impact. So, listen to the full episode and find out how you can do your part to change all this.  

Remember to always live sustainably because this is how we build a better future.
