I read somewhere that most electricity used during laundry goes into heating the water.
So I started washing everything in cold water. Guess what? My clothes still get clean! The only time I use warm or hot is when I am washing something that's been peed on.
Not that it's laundry related, but I've also started taking shorter showers, and turning down the heat while I was in there. This is the biggest sacrifice for me, because I usually turn up the water as hot as it will go - in our house, that's not too dangerous, but will still leave my skin red. No more. These days I'm doing just warm. I'm thinking that in a few weeks I won't even notice.
