Instead of turning off the TV completely, there is the possibility of leaving it in "sleep", a small low-power light indicates that the device is ready to turn on the remote at any time. However, this "dream" consumes energy and UK data trigger alarm in environmental organizations such as the Ministry of Environment itself.
In the UK, the 'dream' of electrical appliances spends 7 billion kilowatts of energy and emits 800,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year to the atmosphere. That is, if all the inhabitants of Glasgow were to travel to New York, they would go and come, they would emit less carbon dioxide. In addition, by 2020 the UK will have 74 million televisions, that is, more than the public. Therefore, it is expected that in the coming years the consumption of appliances will increase considerably.
