We're in the midst of a global crisis that is both financial and environmental. Here's one simple way to save energy, reduce global warming emissions and save money - unplug appliances and chargers when you're not using them.
Think about all of the gadgets you may have, and how many chargers you have for them - cell phones, mp3 players, digital cameras, laptops, you name it. All of these chargers draw energy when plugged in, even if they're not actively charging anything. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, 75% of the energy used to power home electronics is consumed when those appliances are turned off!
For today's Daily Action, pledge to scan your home and unplug seldom-used appliances and chargers when they're not in use.
