12. Go For Cold Water Instead Of Hot Water
There are many things in your home that are not eco-friendly that you don’t think about. Surprisingly, using hot water to wash clothes is one of them. Most washing machine energy is used to produce hot water. If you use cold water in the washing machine instead of hot water, you will reduce the level of carbon dioxide released in your home. By doing this, you only use 10% of the total energy when you wash clothes in cold water. It helps reduce around 1,600 pounds of carbon emissions and makes your home more eco-friendly by using less energy. Unless the temperature is too low, you should use cold water to shower. The showering process takes place quickly when you do not waste time waiting for the water to be heated.
