Remember in shop class how they would have that one button that shut off every tool in the workshop if there were an emergency? We were always so tempted to press that button, just for the hell of it. The House-off Switch is a similar gizmo for your home. When pressed, the switch shuts off all non-essential electricity in your house.
Not only would something like this assist you in being green, but it’s sure to keep your utility bill down as well. An upscale version of the same concept allows you to plug certain things into safe sockets, that never get shut off. — Andrew Dobrow
