An electronic device includes an input acceptance section that accepts an input of a command that causes any one of a plurality of operation states to be selected; a function section that has a plurality of operation states that differ in power consumption and that operates in an operation state selected from among the plurality of operation states; a storage section that pre-stores a reference value, power consumption values corresponding to the plurality of operation states and a conversion factor; and a control section that multiplies a difference between the power consumption value of the selected operation state and the reference value by the conversion factor, obtains an increased/decreased amount of emitted greenhouse gas, and causes the increased/decreased amount, which indicates whether or not the power consumption value of the selected operation state is lower than the reference value, to appear on a display section.
