Buying Energy Efficient Appliances and Electronics
Green Home, Thinking Green, Video by Danny Lipford
To reduce the amount of energy used in your home, look for the Energy Star label when buying appliances, heating and cooling systems, electronics, and lighting for your home. In order to earn an Energy Star rating, products have to meet strict government standards for energy efficiency. If just 10% of homes in the U.S. switched to Energy Star appliances, it could reduce greenhouse gases the equivalent of planting 2 million acres of trees.

Hi, I just read an tip advice about why the dryer does not dry fast enough. The Feb 2009 issue of Danny Lipford tips.
In the past, I had this problem. It would take two cycles… the problem turned out to be that the washer stopped wringing out the clothes enough. Replacing the washer solved the problem for the dryer which then allowed me to dry on one cycle. Lint is not always the answer. Then again I don’t live in some people’s houses.
Thank You,
