http://community.ecoanswers.com/questions/1087/can-products-be-designed-to-prevent-passive-energy-useCan products be designed to prevent passive energy use? tokyoeco2010-01-26T17:35:56Z2010-07-21T21:23:46Z
<p>Appliances continue to draw electricity while the products are turned off, and in the average home nearly 75% of all electricty used to power electronics is consumed by products that are switched off. (source: <a href="http://www1.eere.energy.gov/consumer/tips/home%5Foffice.html" rel="nofollow">US Dept. of Energy</a>)</p>
<p>Why can't products be designed to prevent this sort of passive energy use? Is it simply laziness on the part of the manufacturers, or is there a real design constraint at work?</p>

<p>I am curious as I have heard that cows produce large quantities of methane. Methane can used as a fuel for heating and other purposes. Since cows produce a lot of methane, why can't the dung be used to extract fuel instead of letting methane becoming a pollutant.</p>

<p>Currently we send around 80,000 tonnes of waste every year to the landfill in the UK alone; the majority of which is food waste. Some supermarkets are looking to convert this into electricity through new technology 'digester' plants. Yet around the world people starve and now we’re going to use leftover food to heat and light our supermarkets? Is making electricity from food waste really a good solution?</p>

<p>It seems every store sells reusable cloth shopping bags, but aren't these mass produced shopping bags also an environmental concern? I don't see how having a few hundred of these for each store of each chain is reducing pollution.</p>
