Rechargeable batteries are environmentally friendly since they can be charged without having to be replaced. But many of us leave rechargeable products plugged into the wall indefinitely, which uses power even though the battery is already at full charge. Look around the house for rechargeable products, like an electric toothbrush, electric razors, power tools, smartphones and kids' games, and unplug them. This will help save you energy and prevent unnecessary wear on the rechargeable battery, too.
