Clothes Blowing in the Wind
Did you know that 90% of energy required for washing laundry is just heating the water? [see fact here]
Simple solution: Wash your clothes in cold water! I haven't been washing my clothes in warm water for years...and they're all still doing okay. Although, I use a natural laundry detergent that dissolves best in warm water, so I dissolve the detergent in some warm water first and toss it in.
Dryers require a butt load of energy too... and aren't necessary on sunny and windy days. So save yourself some money, save the planet energy and get outside and enjoy the sun!
