The Smart Energy Strip is a multiplug surge protector that automatically shuts off appliances when they are not in use.  Most appliances have a stand by mode that draws electricity even when not in use.  Will pay for itself in three months due to lower electricity bills. Every house could use a few of these devices. One for the entertainment center and one for the computer/printer/fax/monitor set-up. This may be the "greenest" product we have at our auction. We only have 25 of them so snatch it up online or at the silent auction on March 15th
