Be Cool about Washing
Set your clothes washer to the warm or, even better, to the cold-water setting. Switching from hot to warm for two loads per week can save nearly 500 pounds of CO2 per year if you have an electric water heater, or 150 pounds for a gas heater.
It saves even more to wash on the cold-water setting. Check out your detergent’s instructions. Many detergents work just as well in cold water as they do in hot or warm.
For further energy savings, dry clothes on a clothesline. They smell fresh, dry quickly in the less humid winter air (as long as it is not freezing), and minimize use of energy consuming clothes dryers.
You could also use a drying rack indoors. Low indoor humidity in the winter makes indoor drying racks very efficient.
