Next to our refrigerators, the washing machine and dryers are the biggest energy users in our homes. They also tend to be the most problematic in terms of trying to stay eco-friendly. However, there are a few simple changes you can make to your laundry routine to ensure you save money and reduce your carbon footprint. First of all, every laundry load should be a full load. It might be tempting to throw a few things in to get them clean for the next day but if you can wait for a full load then do so. Some old models of washers can use up to 55 gallons per load whether that load is full or not.
When you think of hurricanes you think of Florida and other coastal areas. However, as a recent study found out, Pennsylvania was hit hard by Super Storm Sandy and yes that was a hurricane that morphed into a much bigger storm system.
