Can you guess? Don't even get them started on how much energy it takes per year to keep your Second Life character alive.

Like all the other videos on The Miley and Mandy Show, this one’s not exempt from giggly teenagers lip-synching their own songs, but “Wake Up America” encourages her fans to do something, like leaving the cell phone unplugged at night, taking carpools, and finding other fun ways to “go green”. XOXO M&M lol!

Join the global movement to live on only 2000 Watts of energy a day. The average American lives a 11,400 Watt life - six times the goal. Europeans are better but still over the limit - they live 5,400 Watt lives.

In the words of project director Roland Stulz: “it’s not starving, it’s not having less comfort or fun. It’s a creative approach to the future.”
