Energy Star Appliances are saving our environment. As shown in the picture, they are advertising that you will save up to 20% a year in your electric bill just for this one appliance. These appliances that energy star has approved are lighter, faster, and better quality products now. The washer and dryers that they have given their approval to all have the new futuristic design look. With large open plexiglas windows so you can look in at your laundry. They also sit a lot higher than traditional non approved appliances. The new design has obviously help lead to the association between that and being more energy efficient. One of the best parts is that the smaller items they make are more powerful and take less energy. I want to know more about the design of the products that they endorse. I wonder what qualifications make it allow to pass the list and get the famous sticker. They place small tiny stickers on any product that is endorsed. Going farther along with conservation and design new automobiles such as the Toyota Prius Hybrid it pollutes the environment less and has the new futuristic look. The new look of the future is conservation. Especially with the times right now everyone is looking to save, and they can do that with the new more enviornment friendly cars costing less every year in production. I feel though to help our economy we can't conserve, everyone needs to start spending again.
I respectfully disagree with what you said about how people shouldn't conserve because we need to spend money to save our economy for a couple of different reasons. First, buying goods that help to conserve energy is still buying goods-- which stimulates the economy. Just because you're not giving the utilities companies less money doesn't mean that your part of our economic problem. And, if you look at the big picture, isn't saving our planet more important than saving our economy because no one will have an economy if our decision to waste energy causes so much pollution that the earth is not longer able to sustain life? And, our economic problem started with a president who more than tripled our national debt due to his defense department spending and did not do enough to monitor how corporations were managing their money. I personally don't feel obligated to spend more money on goods produced by corporations to stimulate the economy when it has been revealed that the CEOs of corporations getting bail out money do things like give themselves $24 million dollar bonuses after declaring bankruptcy.
