A new spin on the piggy bank has been designed in hopes of educating early. The "Power Hog" is a power consumption metering piggy bank designed to sensitize kids to energy costs associated with running electronic devices. You simply plug the tail into the outlet and the device into the snout; feed a coin to meter 30 minutes of use.
Power Hog visually and symbolically associates power conservation with savings by using the iconic piggy bank as a visual reference. Kids can use their allowance to turn on the TV or video game by feeding the Power-Hog with loose change. The Power-Hog meters consumption and blinks red when time is running out. It also helps parents meter the amount of time spend watching the tube.
