Unplugged. Phone Charger

I unplug my phone charger when my phone is charged. I don't know if chargers continue to pull energy or not, when there is no phone. My charger has a little light that stays on as long as it's plugged into the outlet, so it must be pulling at least a little energy for that.

Unplugged. Appliances

I unplug appliances when I'm not using them.

In my little apartment, I can unplug my oven too. It's combination gas and electric and the nearest outlet is over the sink! Weird, I  know. So the range is unplugged when we're not using it.

Turning off the lights

I turn off the light everytime I leave a room. I can't  stand having lights on when there is no one in the room that needs to see things.

It's not always easy. In the kitchen, there is no switch. I  have to pull the string and walk half-way through a dark room. Sometimes, my hands are full. And sometimes, I have to go back to turn it off.

I take full advantage of the day light hours. I don't turn lights on during the day. And, in the mornings, before the sun has come up, I flex my night vision. Hey, my cats don't need any light, those eco-friendly beasts have superior night vision.
