In addition to making surge-suppressor salespeople happy when they sell them, a surge suppressor protects all the electronic equipment we seem to have around our homes these days, from computers to VCRs. A suppressor, which typically goes between your electronic equipment and a receptacle, detects a voltage increase and prevents it from continuing into the equipment.

About 40 percent of greenhouse gases come from electrical power plants, many of which burn greenhouse-gas emitting coal to produce energy. That’s one bad thing. Another is that we waste anywhere from 5 to 15 percent of that electricity—depending on the country you’re in—by leaving our electronics in “standby” modes that draw power even when they’re turned off, but remain plugged in.
