Cold Water Wash
Save 1,500 lbs of carbon
Instructions: Use the cold wash cycle and save energy. With today's standard detergents, cold water really does the same job. (Well, maybe it won't get out every stain from the soccer field, but even hot water won't do that!).
Extra Credit: Wash only when you have full loads.
