Many people will have their televisions on even when they are not watching TV. Some people just enjoy the background noise. Our televisions and refrigerators use some of the most energy in our homes. Try turning off your television more often. You might be surprised to find that you can get a lot done if you turn off the boob-tube. This is especially true if you have kids. They can get distracted very easily.
If you think you need background noise, use a small radio instead. It will use far less energy than a television.
