Cohousing-L Mailing List: Getting rid of electric parasites

[dahako (dahako]

  Hi all- 
 
 One of my tech-y brothers-in-law recently asked me if any cohousers have 
figured out how to set up a community solar charging operation for cell phones, 
rechargeable batteries, laptops, etc, so we can get rid of the chargers we all 
have plugged into our wall sockets. He's using a Solio for his cell phone and 
is working on getting some small panels for some of his work computers. 
 
 I know the Treehugger blog I read has been on a tear about the environmental 
and financial costs of these electric parasites. Anyone been thinking about 
this? Doing something? Ideas?
