Set sprinklers to water the lawn or garden only - not the street or sidewalk.
Use the microwave to cook small meals. (It uses less power than an oven.)
Purchase "Green Power" for your home's electricity. (Contact your power supplier to see where and if it is available.)
Scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading into the dishwasher; wash only full loads.
Cut back on air conditioning and heating use if you can.
Turn off appliances and lights when you leave the room.
San Diego, CA—Sony Electronics has announced a program to further encourage consumers to recycle their old television sets by offering, until March 15, 2008, a $100 coupon towards the purchase of a new Sony BRAVIA high-definition TV for every old set recycled through the Sony Take Back Recycling Program, which kicked off September 15.
Customers who drop-off their television, no matter what brand, to one of 79 participating collection sites for recycling between now and March 15, 2008 will receive a coupon good towards $100 off the purchase of an HDTV from Sony Style retail (stores, online and telesales) through March 31, 2008.
“By layering our Take Back Recycling Program with offers like the TV Trade Up promotion, Sony expects to reach its goal of recycling one pound of old product for every pound of new product sold,” said Mark Small, vice president of environment, safety and health for Sony Electronics. “With the next wave of high definition technology, we anticipate many HDTVs to replace analog television sets and Sony is providing customers with end-of-life solutions for those unwanted items.”
For a complete list of participating drop-off centers, visit www.wm.com/sony/ or call (877) 439-2795. More information about the Sony Take Back Recycling Program is available on the Sony Web site. To learn more about the benefits of recycling electronics, visit Earth 911’s Electronics page.
