The potential for saving energy and resources, reducing pollution and preventing climate change is therefore very large. Energy resources will have to be used in a more sustainable way to reduce resource depletion and environmental pollution, which can lead to global wanning and climate change. Most of the energy is consumed in the home. Manufacturers have developed a new generation of household appliances, which perfonn their functions more effectively and use fewer resources like energy and water. The first step in realizing the energy saving potential is to inform and educate students and their families how using appliances more efficiently can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prevent climate change. Suitable resources have therefore been developed in the frame of CREFEN (CEEX - MENER 608/2005) project, which can be used in educating both students and their families. The emphasis has been on saving energy by the more efficient use of existing household appliances and the purchase of more energy efficient models when these appliances have to be replaced. Here have been developed educational resources as an enlarged appliance database accessible via Internet, with new product groups that have been energy labeled recently, a home appliance energy survey which is downloadable from the website, modules which explain the origins and impacts of global warming, product labeling and energy saving in the home through using appliances more efficiently and educational resources suitable for use in primary and secondary schools.
