Save Money And Energy
(NAPSJ—Here’s a cool idea: If
your refrigerator is 15 years old or
older, replacing it with a new
ENERGY STAR2 certified one can
save you $260 over the next five
years and reduce your carbon foot-
print. According to the US. Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency, if all
refrigerators 15 years old or older
in the United States were replaced
with new ENERGY STAR models,
Americans would save more than
$1 billion in annual energy costs
and prevent greenhouse gas emis-
sions equivalent to those from
more than 1 million vehicles.
Replacing your old refrigerator
can be good for the environment.
There are an estimated 170
million refrigerators and refriger-
ator-freezers currently in use in
the United States. More than 60
million are over 10 years old, cost-
ing consumers $4.4 billion a year
in energy. A new ENERGY STAR
certified refrigerator uses less
energy than two 60—watt light-
bulbs and includes energy—saving
features that provide performance
benefits, such as:
Quieter, high-efficiency com-
pressors that create less heat;
' Improved insulation in doors
and exterior walls to help food
stay cold and muffle noise;
0 More precise temperature
and defrost mechanisms that help
the refrigerator operate more,
efficiently;
' Innovative drawer designs
and improved temperature con-
trols to keep food fresher, longer.
It can be better for you and the
environment to replace your old
refrigerator than to hang on to it.
Plus, keeping a second refrigera—
tor in your basement or garage
could be costing you $110 every
year. Just make sure to properly
recycle your old refrigerator to
prevent the release of refrigerants
and foams that contribute to cli-
mate change.
For more savings, certain utili-
ties offer rebates you can apply to
the cost of an ENERGY STAR
refrigerator or toward properly
recycling your old refrigerator. .
For information on rebates and
other special manufacturer offers,

Disaster Clean-up Tips
As skies clear and the floodwaters,
recede, responders, volunteers and
teams dedicated to assisting West
Virginians devastated by flooding
have been arriving and making
a difference. The West Virginia
Voluntary Organizations Active

emergency managers and officials
to coordinate resources through
its network of disaster relief
agencies. They have been asking
kind-hearted individuals seeking
lways to help disaster survivors to
make a donation to the WV VOAD
Disaster Relief Fund or register as
a volunteer. Financial donations
are the best way to support the
effort at this time. Donations will
be used to support the disaster
related needs of families through a
network of voluntary agencies and
a statewide disaster relief fund.
Financial donations are accepted
