((Everyone knows a TV uses electricity while it s on. But turning it off doesn t stop the meter. It still needs a small amount of power to remember channel settings, and to be ready when you want to turn it back on.
The same goes for VCR s. Even turned off, they use a bit of electricity.
No, it s not a lot. But some use much less than others.
You can find the more efficient models by looking for this symbol...the Energy Star logo. It s just now starting to show up on TV s, and VCR s....
...and has been on some major appliances for about a year.

(standup) Super: HERB WEISBAUM/CBS NEWS
THE ENERGY STAR PROGRAM MAKES IT REAL EASY TO FIND ENERGY EFFICIENT APPLIANCES. NOW WE VE ALL SEEN THESE YELLOW ENERGY TAGS THAT LET YOU COMPARE DIFFERENT MAKES AND MODELS. BUT WITH THE ENERGY STAR PROGRAM, THAT WORK S ALREADY DONE FOR YOU. IF YOU SEE THIS LOGO, YOU KNOW IT S AN ENERGY SAVER.
(16)

To earn the logo, dish washers must beat federal energy standards by 13 percent.
If you see the star on a washing machine, you know it s at least 50 percent more efficient than the standard.
SUPER: Carol Browner/EPA Administrator IF OVER THE NEXT 15 YEARS AMERICAN CONSUMERS BOUGHT ONLY ENERGY STAR PRODUCTS, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO REDUCE THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC BILL, THE NATIONAL UTILITY BILL, BY 100 BILLION DOLLARS. (15)
Your potential savings are greatest on products that use the MOST energy. For instance, replacing an obsolete, energy-wasting furnace.
Paula Gardiner made energy efficiency a priority when she remodeled her home.
By adding an energy star furnace, a new setback thermostat and other touches, she saves enough on her heating bill in winter...
...to power her new air conditioner all summer long.
SUPER: PAULA GARDINER/HOMEOWNER I M THRILLED. I WISH WE WOULD HAVE DONE IT YEARS AGO. OUR HOUSE IS SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE. AND OUR BILLS DIDN T GO UP EITHER... BIG BONUS. (08)
Saving energy can also help reduce the threat of global warming, which everyone is talking about. That s because most electricity is made by burning coal or oil...which produces so-called greenhouse gases. In fact, according to the epa, because of all the electricity it uses, your house is probably responsible for more air pollution than your car. Herb Weisbaum CBS News, Seattle.))
