Most people know that having lights and other electronics on when they leave the room means electricity is still being pulled from the grid. Often, we're so rushed and busy that we don't take the time to think about how spending a few extra seconds to flick off a light switch or unplug something like a cell phone charger will mean keeping us from unnecessarily using kilowatt hours while seeing a slightly higher electric bill the next month.
But really slowing down thought-wise enough to take the time to shut off a light or unplug electronics when they're not being used, and especially when no one is home, is a lifestyle approach that will help to save you money in the long run.
Think about what you are likely to leave plugged in on a regular basis-- televisions, DVD players, cell phone chargers, lamps, radios, laptops, paper shredders, surge protectors, and plenty more.
On top of that, there's also the perk of how this will translate to you being kinder to the environment by using less electricity in your daily schedule.
