Think getting shocked is the worst part about your electric blankie?
Think twice. Keeping warm in the winter is a heated issue now that electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) from electric blankets may be linked to health hazards. Unplug your electric blanket and switch to a cozy eco-blanket instead.
- Keep warm and healthy. The jury's still out, but EMFs may be connected to diseases like cancer.
- Save energy. We'll do the math for you: using a regular blanket instead of an electric one uses no energy whatsoever.
- Save cash. By unplugging your electric blanket, you'll save an average of $17.26 per year.
- Newsflash: organic and recycled blankets are better for the earth than conventional ones.
- No fire worries. Electric blankets are responsible for thousands of fires every year.
