CES proved the green movement is here and chugging along as countless products aimed at being eco-friendly were exhibited.  Most of those products cost a bit more for assuaging your conscious about the environment.  But what if you wanted to be green and save some green?  Enter the lowly surge protector.

Belkin’s new Conserve Surge Protector, which is on display at CES, allows you to shut down six of the eight outlets with the flick of the giant remote control switch. This translates into the simple fact that with this surge protector you can now shut down all of your plugged in devices at once instead of one at a time. This is important when considering that devices left on that aren’t being used are a big and completely unnecessary drain of energy.

By simply turning things off that aren’t in use, we can all save as much as 20 percent on our energy bills!
That is nothing to sneeze at despite its somewhat hefty $50 price tag.

The Belkin Surge Protector is due out in May of this year.
