The reduce our C02 footprint.

No they don't. A given amount of water requires a certain amount of energy to
boil no matter at what speed you do it. In fact you'll use more energy doing
it slower since you'll have greater heat loss over the longer time period. As
for lower powered vacuum cleaners, all that happens is people will use them for
longer if they're not doing the job properly.
