On April 22nd, 2024, one of the most important global events occurs \u2014 Earth Day. And since our planet is a home we all have in common, it’s important that we unite in our efforts to protect our precious ecosystems, diverse species, and natural resources. Of course, it’s easiest if we start where we spend most of our time \u2014 at our own homes.<\/p>\n
The list of what you can do to help our collective home is never ending and, of course, we encourage all of them, but getting started by doing everything possible will quickly leave you exhausted. To get started in an easy-going way, let\u2019s look at how you can use what\u2019s already in your home \u2014 your hardworking appliances \u2014 and see what small changes can make a big impact.<\/p>\n
Since dishwashers used to be big household energy consumers, Gorenje went on a mission to help you help the Earth. Our average models use 22% less water compared to an average 10-year-old dishwasher. So, if you have been washing your dirty dishes in a decade-old appliance, consider opting for a newer model, since you are also making our planet dirtier.<\/p>\n
If you own one of the new Gorenje models of washing machines, you can also help the environment (and manage your budget), since they consume 10 litres less water per washing compared to an average machine from 1995. You can also rely on sustainable features that your washing machine is equipped with, to make sure both your laundry and the planet are taken care of.<\/p>\n
If you don’t want your contribution to Earth Day to stop there, Gorenje’s A energy class refrigerator will ensure you contribute to Earth Year. It will save you up to 65% energy, which amounts to the cost of 25 cups of coffee in comparison to an F energy class refrigerator. Speaking of which, the difference between the two is so big that A class refrigerators can reduce your carbon footprint by 500 kg of CO2 emissions over a decade. That’s like planting 1 or 2 trees each year for 10 years in a row.<\/p>\n
By embracing environmentally conscious choices in our individual home, we can all take care of our common home \u2013 planet Earth \u2013 and give her not only one green day, but a green future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
