Laundry Room

1. #18

   When doing laundry, match the water level to the size of the load.

2. #19

   Washing dark clothes in cold water saves water and energy, and helps your clothes retain their color.

3. #20

   When shopping for a new washing machine, compare resource savings among Energy Star models. Some can save up to 20 gallons of water per load.

4. #21

   Have a plumber re-route your greywater to trees and plants rather than the sewer line. Check with your city and county for codes.

5. #22

   When buying a washer, check the Consortium for Energy Efficiency website to compare water use between models.
