Hank Dwyer 10/13/2019 7:00 PMI washed my clothes in cold water instead of warm and the only difference was that I saved water. I saved a lot of water and that is insane. Might have to keep doing this challenge because there wasn't a change and I am helping the earth.-
Hunter Brame 10/15/2019 6:48 PMI may have to also switch to using cold water when I wash my clothes. Only if I could hang them up to dry but that is a lot of work and they might smell weird so I think I'll pass. -
Alysa Remsburg 10/14/2019 3:30 PMIt's not only water saved! It's all the fossil fuels used to heat and then clean that water. That's a key point I've been trying to emphasize in class. It's all about the fossil fuels!

Kaylin Klonicki 10/14/2019 2:30 PMI wish I could just do one load with everything on cold, but my mom always taught me to wash towels and undergarments on hot, so that switch would be a challenge for me. Glad to see someone can do it though!
