Anything the relies on electricity to run has an environmental impact and that's true of humidifiers and dehumidifiers too. Fortunately, there are more eco-friendly options of both that will keep you perfectly balanced between humid and dry. The Energy Star program rates dehumidifiers and selecting a dehumidifier with Energy Star certification means using 10-20% less energy---by the year's end, you'll have saved enough energy to power a refrigerator for six months. Using a dehumidifier can also mean less mold in your house, and, in turn, less need to use cleaning products (and we think anything that means less cleaning is a good thing). There aren't Energy Star certified humidifiers because the Energy Star program doesn't cover them yet, but look for ones that include Microban technology to reduce mold and bacteria growth within the machine.

Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on the planet and therefore highly sustainable. It is an incredibly versatile plant used for many everyday applications from flooring and wall paneling to paper and fabrics. Some of the processes through which Bamboo is turned from its raw form into usable products can have a negative environmental impact.
Energy Star qualifies products that are 10 to 25% more efficient than required by the federal standard while providing top performance and innovative features.
