5 minutes of caring
Fill 'Er Up

Packing more in to your appliances gets more out of them. The next time you are ready to clean those dirty dishes or wash those dirty shirts, make sure your dishwasher or washing machine is full. By waiting to use these appliances when they are full of plates or pants, you will maximize your use of water, detergent, and the energy used to heat the water. For your washing machine, always check to see how much water you're using, and use cold water as often as possible. For an added boost of caring, buy an energy efficient model the next time these need replacing and properly recycle your old ones.

Laundry is the thing I hate most. Mostly because I am OCD about ironing and the more laundry I do, the more I have to iron. After I wear clothes once, I hang them up and they never get too wrinkled. I'm glad I'm not insane.
