As consumer demand for more energy efficient solutions gains momentum, so too does the number of new and improved appliances. Remember, when upgrading your appliances it’s important to not only compare energy ratings but also the quality of the appliance; how long will it last? When you purchase a premium product it won’t need to be disposed of as soon as an inferior model, and that means less manufacturing and less waste. An efficient dishwasher, for instance, can use a lot less water than washing the dishes by hand in the sink. Look for the Energy Star rating, when choosing your appliances.
