off, I think saving our resources is more important than putting wear or tear on a tv. |

That's the oddest argument I've ever heard of, lol. Turning it off saves energy naturally. I don't know of any websites offhand that proves this, I just assumed this was common sense! |

Turn if off. Here's another tip. If you are leaving the house for awhile, also unplug it. TV's, especially old ones, have been known to cause fires. |

Try asking your mom to go outsude and look at the electric meter and see if it turns slower or fast with the television off or on. My dad and mom used to debate about this also and one day he showed her the difference and it actually worked! Good luck!! |

The department of energy says to turn off appliances when not in use.
Still not convinced? Conduct an experiment where she can watch what happens at the meter when the TV is turned off or on. See if there is a sudden surge of energy at the meter or a subtle change. |

ohkay,.i think u oughtta have two TV's and so u can prove ur point by not turning it on at ALL and the other one will be operated by ur mom, and she'll turn it on 4ever or somethin....then compare ur electricity bills.
But, obviously, turning off the TV is a better way to conserve electricity.... |

Turning it off for the time she is sleeping is saving her money.
A lot more than a few nickels..............we're talking at least 6=8 hours here................And besides, the longer she leaves it on, the faster every thing, tubes, screen etc, will run down or burn out, costing her more in the long run because she will have to go out a get a new TV !!!! |
