Something to keep in mind while shopping.

Just before heading out to check out a dining room table, Maya says to me:

"Amma, you better make sure the table you buy has a blue Energy Star sticker on it."

and I say:
"Hmph, that is an interesting point Maya."

Maya says:
"Well, the sticker means that it uses less energy and is more efficient. You should only buy things with that blue sticker on it."

Sadly, none of the tables we looked at had a blue Energy Star sticker on it.
