✅ Ventilate – Ensure airflow around outlets and avoid covering chargers with fabric or rugs.

Final Thought: Honor the Wisdom of Small Actions
My grandmother didn’t have a degree in toxicology. She had common sense forged by decades of nursing in underserved communities. She taught me: “The body speaks first in whispers. If you wait for screams, it’s too late.”
Leaving a charger plugged in seems trivial—until you connect the dots between that faint smell, your restless nights, and your child’s recurring cough.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about awareness.
It’s not anti-technology—it’s pro-health.
So tonight, before bed:
👉 Walk through your home.
👉 Touch each charger.
👉 Unplug the ones doing nothing.
And whisper, just once:
“Thank you for powering my life. Now rest—until I truly need you again.”
Because sometimes, the most powerful act of self-care is simply… unplugging.
