No matter how hard you try to minimize your power consumption, it seems to make no difference or if there is, it’s very minimal. Watching over all the appliances you use in your home is really not a walk in the park. Let’s take the use of computer as an example. Computers and its many peripherals like speakers, printers, scanner and fax machine consume electricity even if you are not using them as long as they are on. To solve the problem, inventor Jeong-Seo Lee designed the CheckTap.

The CheckTap is a power strip that can help you lower your power consumption by displaying a virtual tree that grows based on the amount of carbon dioxide you don’t emit into the environment. I can help you save up to 50% on your electric bill. Just install it in your computer and after that, it will automatically cut off or shut down the inactive equipment connected to your PC. So even if you forget to turn off a certain device, no worries because the CheckTap will do it for you. The software of the CheckTap is able to do that by detecting the energy you’re acting on the PC or one of its peripherals.
