At CNET, we take sustainability seriously. We have made it a goal to educate users on the value of buying products that are sustainably produced, energy efficient, and low waste. We launched this guide to highlight that commitment and introduce energy-efficiency ratings in four categories, as well as the "Power Saver" seal for the most-efficient products in a category. Efficiency guides explain how we test those products and why you should care.

In the coming months you will find more examples of our commitment to sustainability, including more content on the materials used to manufacture consumer electronics and ways that consumers can safely dispose their old products. As always, we encourage you to send your feedback.
