- Unplug Chargers When Not in Use: This is one of the easiest and most effective things you can do. “Seriously—it takes two seconds. Make it a habit like brushing your teeth.”
- Choose Devices with Low Standby Power: When you buy new electronics, look for the “ENERGY STAR® label.” These devices are designed to “limit standby use” and save you money in the long run. Also, look for devices that have a simple on/off switch instead of glowing indicator lights.
- Adopt a Simple Rule: Try the “‘Last One Out’ Rule.” Before you go to bed or leave the house, do a quick check and ask yourself, “‘Did I turn off the non-essentials?’” Making this a habit can save you a lot of energy and money over time.
