Hi.
I am Shawna Coronado and right now I am in my hotel lobby in Ireland.
And I have something really cool to show you, and the reason I want to show it to you is
it is all about saving electricity.
First of all, I have to unlock my door using my card.
So, there we go.
All right.
So then, once you come into the room, you cannot turn the lights on until you take your
key card and you put it right here.
Show you how it works like that.
Ta-da!
And so then all the lights go on.
The reason this is so cool is it really saves energy.
There is no way someone can leave the room and have the lights left on.
So, very cool.
Another feature that is really, really neat about these rooms is these European plugs
and outlets is if you look at this, this is an individual plug.
This is also an individual plug.
This is the European – the Irish outlet.
But, what you do is you turn it on or off when you want to use it and when you want
to plug it in.
So, some really creative ideas that you can apply back in the states.
Why not set up the electrical in your house with the plugs that turn on and off on the
outlets.
That is really neat and it is a great tip for saving electricity and preventing vampire
appliances from sucking that little extra energy that adds up big time.
So, give it a try, learn something cool from Ireland like I have.
This is really neat.
And you know, the best thing to do is to save energy and make a difference.
