September 2, 2007 3:30 PMThanks for the very helpful information.
In a perfect world we would all have easy access to the minimum, average and maximum amount of carbon emissions for every device we are about to purchase. This would definitely help with green shopping and is not so different than the EPA average fuel consumption estimates we see on vehicles today.

September 12, 2007 5:45 PMThere is also a nifty solar attic fan being sold here in AZ. which can save on energy by cooling the attic of a home/office and subsequently lowering electric bills for running A/C. It was quickly installed and started working just by holding it up to sunlight before actual installation into a roof vent. It was about $550 installed, so if you live where it gets really hot, call a solar firm to get a quote. The company I own also markets a green disk vault that will reduce power consumption via AUTOMaid (massive arrays of disks) technology, effectively cutting data center colling costs some 70%. It's not for the meek, but for large data centers. It really adds up environmentally when planning rack cabinet and UPS power purchases and every large firm should be aware it exists as they increase online data storage needs. (terabytes)

From Oprah.com: 'Gore says that when you're shopping for major home appliances, look for the Energy Star label. "This is a signal that you're getting an environmentally efficient appliance that's going to save you money at the same time," he says.'
The Energy Star label on major appliances is a good place to start, but only indicates a 'greener' range of electrical consumption. Once you've found and Energy Star, find the kWh per year number on the yellow Energy Guide tag and compare that as well. For instance, a refrigerator with an annual electrical usage between 504 kWh/yr and 612 kWh/yr is pretty good. Anything higher, you'll want to keep shopping. Comparing the numbers on the Energy Guide tag as well as all the other features will help you find the really good appliances.
