Switch to cold when doing your laundry. 85-90% of the energy used to wash your clothes is used to heat the water. By turning the dial to cold on your washing machine, you help the environment, save energy, and save money. Drying is a major source of energy consumption for producers of grains such as corn and wheat. On the average, drying grain corn requires the removal of nearly 5kg of water per bushel of grain. Wet harvest and drying seasons can increase this requirement even further. Therefore, it makes sense for Ontario grain producers to consider various long-term strategies for energy conservation! Choose a front loading washing machine. Not only does a front loading washing machine save water, it saves energy as well. It uses about 40% less water and about 50% less energy. |
