Hot water is a top contributor to your home’s energy use. Your laundry room is a common culprit: Washing clothes in hot water uses five times more energy than in cold water!

Your challenge: Over one month, run every laundry load in the cold-water cycle.

That’s equivalent to almost 282,000 young trees filtering our air for 10 years!
