More details
Did you know that if you leave your mobile phone charger plugged in when you are not using it, it wastes almost as much electricity as when you are charging your phone?

Mobile phone chargers unnecessarily left plugged in waste £47m worth of energy and 250,000 tonnes of CO2 in the UK alone each year.

The same goes for any electrical appliance that gets hot or still has a light on when it is plugged in, but is not being used. Be warned!
