Make sure you unplug your phone chargers at night

Honestly, I didn’t know that phone chargers took that much juice. Since I was on a go green kick last month, I learned that even when your phone is not connected to the charger, electricity is still flowing, and running up your electricity bill.

If you want to know how much energy each appliance in your place draws, GE has come up with an interactive chart that will show you. It tracks 53 devices; you can choose to see how much power does each appliance consume in watts or kilowatthours; alternatively, you can see how much does each appliance cost to use in dollars, and how much it consumes converted to gallons of gas.

If I were you, I’d check it out, and start thinking twice about leaving your computer on over night.

Do you have any energy saving tips?
