Change in Climate

I recently purchased a washer that qualifies for the Energy Star rebate. The deadline is coming soon and I have no idea where I’m supposed to recycle my old washer to claim the rebate in Southern California (inland empire area). Does anybody know?
Thanks!

How about a Energy Star HDTV vs. A regular HDTV?

I am organising a short conference on climate change and energy at work. How best do I ignite people’s interest? Can you think of any interactive elements that I can use? Any ideas (however wild) are welcome.

I also want to minimise the carbon footprint of the event. Can you recommend any caterers that offset their energy expenditure?
Reply to D S – Yes I am a cult leader, but only in my spare time. This conference is being organised in my other capacity as a bureaucrat.

I’m pricing french doors and yesterday, at Home Depot, the ones I like have the Energy Star approval, but it costs a lot more for the Low-E glass. The sales person said the Low-E probably wouldn’t make a big difference.

I just moved to an apt and installed is an energy star room A/C unit. It gives two options for cooling: Cool and Energy Saver. I figured the energy saver would save me $$ but im worried bec it kicks off when the room gets cool then kicks back on a few mins later. Wont that constant on-off actually cost me more? Should I just leave it on Cool at all times?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of renewable energy in to climate change? Whatare the contributions of renewable energy to climate change?

In 2006 we replaced our furnace and air conditioner with an energy star rated system as well as our windows. I heard there is up to $500 in tax credits for energy saving measures in Wisconsin. Is this true? How do I get this info? I have the proof of purchases, but what else might I need?

I’m looking for an affordable, energy star rated, dual handset cordless phone with answering machine.

Does anyone know where I can find one? I found a list of them at the energy star website but can’t find anyone who sells them.

Thanks in advance!

We moved into a new house and the previous owner left us the refrigerator. I want to know if it’s an energy star. I thought energy stars always have the little logo on it, but when we went to the appliance store, they only had signs to show that they were energy star appliances, no permanent logo. My clothes washer has the energy star logo on it, so why not the refrigerators?

I was reading that the motors used in the Energy Star Hunter Original ceiling fans of today are weaker than the motors used in older Hunter Originals. Does this mean that the Originals made today do not move as much air, or not as durable as the predecessors? Why can’t Hunter make today’s Originals to the same standards as the predecessors?
