Easy energy advice coming to a store...

"Help is at hand for consumers wanting to buy more energy and water efficient appliances, thanks to a Brumby Government buyer advice campaign in 300 major retail stores across Victoria. The $2 million ResourceSmart retail initiative will help customers compare the purchase price, running costs and environmental performance of household appliances and lighting. Domestic appliances account for 61 per cent of the greenhouse gas emissions from a typical Victorian household,” Mr Batchelor said. By buying a ResourceSmart appliance, which uses less energy and water throughout its life, consumers are setting themselves up to reduce their household bills, and their carbon footprint."
