The other cool thing about the energy star program is that you can often get rebates for buying their certified products.
I’ve been able to find local or federal rebates for items which I was going to buy anyways. So I get to save money on the day to day basis since it uses less energy and I get to save money while buying it as well!
It’s definitely a cool program which I wish more people would use!

Data centers are using up all the water to cool all those servers. But we made small electronics more efficient 15 years ago. So its totally a smaller impact on the electrical grid, just ignore the lack of drinking water.

Most data centers are air conditioned and fan cooled using relatively low power components.
Replacing perfectly usable hardware just to save energy would also have a net negative result.

@RobbEJay Total water consumption in the USA in 2015 was 1218 billion litres per day.
Data centers use 660 billion litres of water in 2020, according to the US Department of Energy
irrigation used 446 billion litres and 147 billion litres per day went to supply 87% of the US population with potable water

Americans should take an example of europeans and start by turning off their air conditioning when it’s not needed or don’t even install one unless you’re living in a very hot climate.

Sounds like a step in the right direction. Sadly, I feel that buying used is being looked down on, so hopefully the repair-and-resell part works out …
0:27 A lot of energy is needed when constantly making stuff warm, especially water because it has a very high heat capacity (a lot of energy is needed to bring it up to temperature). So heating your house (unless you use a heat pump), cooking in some cases (, also driving an EV) and hot showers are the big consumers. Not your fridge or TV (usually) …
Let’s remind ourselves that right now this is just brand promotion! There is so much feel good bullshit out there … hopefully it will be different this time!

I have always said the high responsability have to come from the manufacturers. They have to pave a way to follow. With these conditions truly understood and controlled by them, the customers can come across and provide their support to reduce the consumption

Manufacturers design in obselecence. Building long surviving items is against their monetary interests and when it comes down to it they will always protect their bottom line. For example, I have a refrigerator and the manufacturer stopped making the filters. This simple item is enough to get many people to get rid of their working fridge/freezer and buy new. This is all lip service to make us feel good but companies are out to make money and when it is time to make a decision of which is more important the manufacturers will always go for the bigger pile on money.

*_1_* Use public transportation as much as possible.
*_2_* Buy used clothes and shoes; stop buying designer clothing (Armani, Gucci, etc).
*_3_* Use minimal heating and cooling (from 65 °F to 79 °F).
*_4_* Keep washing dishes and doing laundry to a minimum.
*_5_* Shower for five minutes three to four times a week.
*_6_* Practice the six *_Rs:_* reduce, reuse, recycle, recover, rethink, and revolutionize.
