ENERGY EFFICIENCY TIP OF THE MONTH
When streaming videos, use the smallest device that makes sense for the number of people watching. Avoid streaming on game consoles, which use 10 times more power than streaming with a tablet or laptop. Streaming content with devices that have earned the Energy Star rating will use 25% to 30% less energy than standard equipment. Source: Energy.gov
