E: 21/03 Standby Buster

Standy Buster is a remote controlled electrical socket that lets you switch off appliances overnight, instead of leaving them on standby, so they use no electricity.

They can be used to control any device which uses mains electricity and they are particularly useful for controlling hard to reach wall sockets as it doesn't need line of sight to work.

Ivy Energy Saving has 20 Standby Busters to give away. For a chance to win one, just correctly answer this question.

Production of which gas is reduced by cutting the demand for electricity?
Answer: Carbon Dioxide (Greenhouse Gas) :D
