Plugged-In Age Feeds a Hunger for Electricity

The average amount of time Americans watch television is 5 hours a day. That uses up a great amount of electricity in households which causes serious environmental issues. The energy wasted is unfortunate and helps increase our chances of global warming. Another power drain are video games, such as Xbox 360. Teenagers find it hard to save their games, so they keep their consoles switched on so they can get back to where they left off.
