I chose this action because I felt as if this is something I should of been doing all along. I didn't realize that this would save energy and also allow me to spend times doing other things than just being on my phone or computer all night. I think during Christmas time when everyone has decorations and lights it is important to power down those lights and tree lights as well as outside before you go to bed because leaving them on all day is draining for electricity. Keeping lights on for 3 hours is alot so leaving them on all night or day is able to be reduce if you remember to unplug them every once in a while.
