I am looking for specific examples of programs that have targeted the issue of standby power use (aka vampire or phantom load). In particular, I am focused on efforts to encourage folks to unplug devices such as cell phones, laptops, and iPods after they are charged. I am interested in both the programs that others have developed as well as any known sources of research on barriers to engaging in this activity.
