Week 34: I resolve to factor durability and efficiency into my next electronic purchase decision so it doesn't need short-term replacing and is designed to require minimal energy and water.
Date: 25-Aug-09
Investing in quality appliances and electronics goes a long way to ensuring I won’t need to continually replace and dispose of them.
This in turn means I can help conserve the energy and resources that go into the production and distribution of products.
I can look for items with extended warranties and consider their energy (and, if applicable, water) ratings. I can visit www.energyrating.gov.au and www.waterrating.gov.au/about/index.html to compare product energy and water consumption credentials.
Commitment Statement
I will factor durability and efficiency into my next electronic purchase decision so it doesn't need short-term replacing and is designed to require minimal energy and water.
