Being environmentally conscious has become a trendy topic in the past few years, but digging into the statistics shows this shouldn’t be a superficial aspiration. A 2020 study published in the American Journal of Agricultural Economics estimates that the United States wastes up to 40% of our food supply. In 2008, MIT found that the typical U.S. resident has a carbon footprint of 20 metric tons, which is five times higher than the global average. The EPA — citing a 2014 government accountability report — found that the average U.S. family wastes 170 gallons of water per week, or 9,400 gallons of water per year.

So when the Mini is no longer mini, a follow-up was inevitable, leading to the recent release of the Wemo WiFi Smart Plug . The next-generation Wemo smart plug takes miniaturization to the next level, with a footprint that is nearly half the size of the previous plug, while still offering all of the smart features and compatibility. I have been testing the latest plug for the past few weeks, and not only have I been impressed by … [Read more...] about Wemo WiFi Smart Plug Review: Small, sleek, and smart

HBO Max is the premium network's streaming service featuring all the channel's regular programming plus an amped-up library of extra shows, movies and originals. This year, HBO Max is also streaming all of Warner Bros.' new, theatrically released movies at no extra charge the same day each film hits US cinemas. Next up: Mortal Kombat , which lands early Friday morning. And Max is still streaming Godzilla vs. Kong through April 30 -- these first-run flicks are available on Max for one month only.
