The problem ....
- Energy used to power a dishwasher and heat its water comes from power stations which have burned coal, gas and oil to generate it, producing CO2 in the process
- Water Companies use energy to process and supply water to your home
What can I do ....
- When washing dishes by hand, wash the cleaner items first rinsing with cold water
- If you use a dishwasher – fill it fully before using it
- Wash up pans in the sink as they take up valuable room in the dishwasher
- Use the economy or eco programme if your dishwasher has one
- Switch the dishwasher off and open the door when the dishwasher reaches its drying phase
- Don't wash up with the tap running - use a plug!
