Fort Worth Food Park

  So last night we tried the Ft. Worth Food Park for the first time and fell in love.  I know, you are asking how that has anything to do with recycling, but it has a lot to do with it.  Our business isn't just a business to us.  It really is more about making a long term impact on all that we can for better living.  The way I look at it, you aren't living with old junk in your closet, those old electronics aren't leaking hazardous chemicals into a landfill polluting all those things they tend to do, and we are working hard to get a process, no a standard, for all the things we use.

So after working with a green certified eco-broker on our former radio show, I learned that even leaving your plugs for cell phones, laptops, or other devices in the wall, even when the electronic was not attached, uses electricity.  Evidently when the plug is in the wall, the current is engaged and doesn't stop just because you took your device off the charger.    Just thought I would share this bit of information if you are like me and always looking for ways to reduce your electric bill...especially with this unbearable summer heat we've had!  Just curious, what are some effective ways you have managed to save electricity?
