A Green Tip, courtesy of the EPA…

While major appliances are provided by your apartment community, smaller appliances, such as toasters, flat-screen televisions and microwaves, can use up lots of electricity as well.  Keep your appliances in good working order and follow the manufacturer’s suggestions for operation and maintenance. Shop for products with high consumer satisfaction and fewer breakdowns. If kept in good working order, your appliances should last a long time and not end up as waste before their time.
