When you leave your mobile phone charger plugged in when its not actually juicing up a handset, you waste electricity

-- some estimates see the overall power suck from such scenarios as enough to power 24,000 homes for a year.

That's where AT&T ZERO charger comes in -- it works by automatically sensing when a cell phone is not plugged in and cutting the power supply from the wall socket. Now you can save electricity (and your conscience) when you just grab your phone and go without taking the time to cut the power.

The new eco-friendly charger has a five-star efficiency rating, a "block and cable" design that will work with unspecified "future handsets" and packaging made from 100% recycled paper.
