REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergy Switch to Cold WaterWhat do you plan to do with the money you save from making more energy efficient choices?
Randal Schober 4/17/2021 11:11 AMTurned to cold water for washing clothes. It takes longer to feel the tub and not confident yet whether the clothes are as clean .... hot water always seems to be a better sterilizer.-
