It’s just as important for a kid in Chatham-Kent to save electricity as it is for a kid in Toronto or New York City. We all have to look for new ways to use less electricity, so the companies that make our big appliances have made new kinds that use less energy. These are called energy efficient appliances.

Here in Ontario, you’ll know an energy efficient appliance if you see the Energy Star logo.

Next time your parents consider buying a new electrical device for your home, suggest that they Trade It In for a more energy efficient model.

Here’s how much you could save if you Trade It In for an Energy Star model:
