I just use my USB charger at work because I don't want to run the risk of leaving the wall charger there over the weekend and being stuck. :-) @ Paulette:

Im doing this too for convenience because i use computer all the time.

Why not?? Might as well have work pay for charging your cellphone rather than you. The difference is negligible, but every penny counts. I never thought about that. Why not??

I charge my company cell phone at home so I figure I should be able to charge my personal cell phone at work. That is a pretty good idea.

Don't you know that the universe gives back tenfold?!! If you go and give a needy person $10 you will get back $100 and you wont need to mess around trying to save yourself a few cents per day!

Your cellphone probably uses 0.5W at most. If you charge 8 hours a day every day for 260 working days a year, you use maybe 1 kWh, which would otherwise cost you $0.15 for the entire year. LOL.

I wish I had a common charger so that I would not have to use the USB...but hey the phone still gets charged! @ Fabs: I have no clue how much it saves but it is more of the mindset you know. I will be charging my rechargable batteries here too. I have not calculated the actual cost but it does end up saving...and I am just looking for ways to save my money. @ AJ: Well you do it for one reason, but you get the benefit of the added electricity savings so good for you. :-) @ Calgirlfinance:

I have always had multiple phone chargers, so I just leave one at work. I also used to have a very common Nokia phone, so I had a few extra chargers from when my friends "upgraded" their phones to new ones. I often charge my cell phone at work to save money.
