Smart Shopper

Whether you are shopping for appliances, lighting or even office equipment, don't forget to do your homework on Energy Star. This joint effort with the U.S. Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency seeks to inform consumers about how to save money and the environment. They have researched thousands of products to rate those that save up to 30-75 percent less electricity than comparable products. In 2006 alone, U.S consumers saved the equivalent of $14 billion on utility bills and avoided pollution from approximately 25 million cars by purchasing Energy Star products.
