STAR is a US registered trademark to indicate that a product meets its guidelines for energy efficiency.
WHAT IS ENERGY STAR ®
TVs and VCRs use energy both when they are on and when they are off. North Americans spend more
than$1 billion a yearon energy consumedbyTVs and VCRs whenthey are notin use. The new ENERGY
STAR ®modelswillreduce that energy“leakage” by up to 75percent. Ultimately,thiswill mean more than
$500 million a year in energy savings for consumers.
The energy savings will help reduce the burning of fossil fuels and the related carbon dioxide pollution
that contributes to global warming. If every North American family replaced their TVs and VCRs with
ENERGY STAR ®models, it would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by five million tons every year —
equivalent to eliminating the pollution from more than one million cars.
By using ENERGY STAR ®products, you will save money on your electric bills and use less energy. That
makes good economic sense and it’s good for our environment.
