 Power usage - Bobby
At our place we have a crackdown on unnecessary use of power.

Latest is making sure PC monitors are switched off overnight and not left on standby with the little LED light on. The power also needs to be pulled from the DAB radio I have on my desk as it has an LCD screen on it that is lit up all the time.

This is the same building that people boil full kettles at a time and after use refill the kettle for the next person to then boil a full kettle for one cups worth.

So any clever folk out there able to give me comparisons as to the relevant costs of leaving a monitor on standby overnight / a dab radio LCD screen to be lit / compared to boiling a full kettle from scratch?
