I think it's nice idea. I do it myself. Though many times it seems like an excuse to me. Some action that makes us rather feel good and responsible than actually save plenty of energy. The amount of time it took me to write this used probably more energy than all the stand-by-lights in my place for an entire month. Or taking the train Rotterdam-Berlin instead of flying and you and everybody you know have a lifetime of stand-by-light burning day and night at the same costs (cost for the nature).

Don't get me wrong, it is not bad. More importantly I would ask myself, "did I already changed my electricity supplier to green energy? Did I changed all the light bulbs to saving bulbs or LED? How old is my fridge? What does my bank with my money? Do I have to be barefoot in the house even thought it's winter?" etc etc
