In the coming weeks we are going to discuss small steps that you and your family or friends can take to help our environment, your health, and many times, your wallet.  Together these small steps can lead to big changes. The biggest perk to these actions is that they won't interfere with your daily routines. Hopefully they will even become part of your routine!

Today's small green action will help save electricity and help lower your electricity bill. It's simple and takes only seconds to complete. Your green action is to unplug any electronic device or charger from the wall socket when it is not in use.

Unplugging these devices can save you big bucks! According to a study preformed by EnergyStar, most American homes spend up to $100 a year on energy from appliances and chargers that aren't in use. That's just crazy! 

So next time you unplug your cell phone or laptop from it's charger, be sure to remember to remove the charger from the wall as well! Your not only helping your wallet but your helping our environment, too!
