- In India, A&E saved 388,168 cubic meters, which is the equivalent of water used daily by nearly three million people in India.
- In China, A&E saved 332,463 cubic meters, which is the equivalent of water used daily by nearly four million people in China.
Energy Conservation
- From 2006 to 2012, A&E's power consumption was reduced by 6 percent.
- During the past seven years, A&E has saved 95 million kilowatt hours of electricity.
- Since an average American family of four uses 10,656 kilowatt hours of energy each year, A&E's savings equal what nearly nine thousand American families would consume annually. In Europe, where the annual family usage rate is lower, this same amount of electricity would supply over twenty thousand families for a year.
