I'm all about saving money! And I'm thrilled when I can save money and save the planet at the same time. OK…I'm not really “saving” the planet in a “I'm a super-hero” way, but I'm helping the environment and I think that counts! 🙂 Best Buy apparently thinks the same way…that's why they offer amazing ENERGY STAR products that save money while being kinder to the environment.
Best Buy is committed to positively impacting the environment and our communities. Best Buy provides their customers with a wide assortment of sustainable products. This includes offering a large selection of energy-efficient products, including ENERGY STAR certified consumer electronics and appliances.
Let's talk about laundry…
Did you know that a standard clothes washer that’s older than 10 years costs around $180 to run every year. An ENERGY STAR certified washer can save $40 a year in operating costs. With a certified model, you’ll save $400 over 10 years! If you want even more energy savings, make sure to wash your clothes in cold water.
New energy-saving innovations are making dryers more efficient. In fact, ENERGY STAR certified dryers use 20 percent less energy than conventional models. One of these new innovations includes moisture sensors that can tell when clothes are dry to automatically shut off the dryer. The steam cycle is another feature that can save energy and time by eliminating wrinkles. That means no more ironing. {I'm pretty sure the heavens opened and I heard the angels singing…I hate ironing!}
More than 80 percent of American homes have a clothes dryer, so the savings opportunity is huge. If all clothes dryers sold in the United States were ENERGY STAR certified, Americans could save $1.5 billion each year in utility costs and prevent greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to more than 2 million vehicles.
