Quick green tip: plasma TV is not so green

See how I can rhyme my green tips! But that’s besides the point. If you like your TV big then consider a LED-screen, rear projector screen, or even just a biggie old fashioned TV - all three use less energy than plasma screens.

In fact, some figures show that with continued plasma use, TVs will end up consuming about 8% of the energy used nationally per year. 8% sounds small - but think of al the stuff we own that uses energy, and that makes 8% to TV alone seem pretty icky.
