Last Friday night, my husband and I were discussing ways to reduce our utility bills. Little did we know the answer was much closer at hand than we realized.

The next morning, I came across this piece in the New York Times about just how much the convenience of the immediate power-up we've come to expect from our electronics costs not just us, but the planet.

It was enough to make me go unplug my laptop.

How about you? What will you unplug today?
