Cold Water Wash
Save 1,500 lbs of carbon
Fact: Wahing clothes in warm or hot water requires energy to heat all that water. With today's detergents, cold water does the same job. (Well, maybe it won't get out every soccer field stain, but even hot water won't do that!).
Act: Use the cold wash cycle to save carbon. Try it today!
