WHY More than 758,506 metric tons of CO2* are used to power vacuums in the US annually. We will reduce emissions by sweeping (then vacuuming if needed). *That's like driving over 1.8 million miles in a passenger vehicle. (Based on 30-minute vacuum use per week/household.) HOW Sweep dirt up into a pile. Then, vacuum just the pile. Or, collect the dirt pile in a broom pan. | |
