Energy Efficient Appliances - Joseph Liu Entry #2

My group focused on energy efficient appliances like CFLs, rechargeable batteries, and solar panels. I didn't have to persuade my parents to get CFLs because nearly ALL of our household's lightbulbs are CFLs. I knew that solar panels were out of reach because we don't have enough space. The only appliance left was the rechargeable battery. I was successful in convincing my parents to get some rechargeable batteries. I learned that you have to tell the consumer why it saves you MONEY. Nearly everyone LOVES money, so if you tell them advantages that they like, there is a good chance that they will agree. I told my parents the cheap price on Amazon and how a rechargeable battery saves money even though it seems more expensive. They agreed to buy it. :)
