Energy sucking TVs pulled off shelves by top retailers

TVs are gaining more attention than before, for qualities good and bad. Top retailers like Best Buy UK, Comet, Co-operative Electrical, DSGi, John Lewis Partnership, Home Retail Group, Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury’s however have decided to do the environment a favor and promote eco-friendliness by stopping the sale of energy-sucking monster TVs. These retailers will promote energy efficient models instead which have received a nod of approval from the EST (Energy Saving Trust). The worst performing 42-inch currently available costs you £75. However, those that meet with EST recommendations cost just £33 a year to run. This not only saves up a load of hard earned cash, but also energy. It also reduces carbon emissions by tons.

The government will soon ask more retailers to join this effort before the launch of new EU electrical appliance energy efficiency rules set to pop up by July 2012.
