What are the risks of leaving a charger plugged in when empty?

Why it’s not recommended to leave your charger plugged in when empty

A plugged-in charger always consumes electricity, even when no device is connected to it.

Environmental impact: Added up on a global scale, this consumption contributes to energy waste and the increase in greenhouse gas emissions.
