Wash in Cold Water


June 5Th was World Environment Day and here is a great tip from a new website i just found: Its planetgreen.com and they just have the best stuff you can do around the house, garden, beauty, food and so on to safe on energy and safe the planet.
Here is my tip for you next trip to the washing machine: Turn the heat down to cold-cold. Switching to cold water can save you upwards of $100 a year in reduced energy costs! In situations where hot water is necessary, for example, to kill dust mites in bedding or to clean heavily soiled items, use cold water in the rinse cycle.
