Simple things you can do to save energy & water

Dryer
We all have times when circumstances make it necessary for us to use our dryer. But before you turn on your dryer be aware that dryers can account for up to 20% of your power bill. That's a lot of money and greenhouse gas emissions. Consider using your clothes line. Sunshine is free, it can save big money, and it's kinder to your clothes.

Washing Machine
Most of us don't know that an inefficient washing machine can be one of the highest water using ap-pliances in the average home. Before you start your wash try to make sure that you have a full load to save water. And the use of cold water saves lots of energy. It's interesting to note that by replacing an old washing machine with a water efficient model, you can save up to two-thirds of the water you used previously in your old model. That's a great saving. And as with all appliances, before you buy check energy ratings.

Clothes Horse
It may be raining outside. But before you put your clothes straight from the washing machine into the dryer consider the clothes horse. It doesn't cost a cent to use, it's kind to your clothes and has no impact on the environment. Why wouldn't you use it? It's just another way that simple changes can make a big difference.
