Green Tip – March 2010
By Dr. Ilka Emig (Environmental Consultant)
 

Did you know that letting your mobile charger plugged in costs energy? Most of us remove our mobile from the charger but leave the charger plugged in. It will continue to consume energy, just like any other electrical device we leave standby. So please try to make it a habit to plug it out.

Good news is coming from GSMA, the Universal Charging Solution (UCS) – the creation of a single, energy-efficient one-charger-fits-all new mobile phones solution – will result in a 50 per cent reduction in standby energy consumption. Check it out! 
 

Thanks for making a difference and remember to
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
