Replacing old equipment with newer more efficient models will likely use more energy unless the new equipment is EXTREMELY efficient. Think of all the energy to produce the new device, package it, and deliver it. What a waste! Keep using your old technology as long as you can and you're really helping to lower energy usage.
We need the guilt trip to actual make people change. Otherwise, people will keep using their old equipment. Make green choices is not about immediate results, it's about the future benefits. Don't just think green - do green.
