Quick Tip: Wash Clothes in Cold Water

Stop listening to the old wives tales: Wash your laundry in cold water.

A whopping 90% of energy used for washing clothes is heating the water (Planet Green). If you select that cold/cold option for 4 out of 5 cycles, you’ll save 72 LBs of carbon dioxide emissions this month alone! (It’s also good for your wallet – You’ll save $60-100 a year on energy bills too!)
