       We will offset the number of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions which we estimate to be produced solely from electricity used to operate a Sony 40 inch X Series Full High definition BRAVIA LCD Television (model number KDL40X3100) for 5,000 hours based on estimated electricity consumption of 1,300kWh during the first year of operation. We will do so by arranging for the surrender of equivalent amounts of emissions reductions under Origin's Carbon Reduction Scheme™, up to a total retail value of $65 (including GST) at the time of surrender. Power consumption information is published on Sony’s website at [website]. Greenhouse gas emissions have been estimated by applying the applicable Australian Government emission co-efficients current at the date the emissions reductions are surrendered. Estimates of consumption and tonnes of emissions do not represent actual usage of the prize by the winner or the corresponding emissions. Total prize valued at up to $2,664.
