I had some friends over for dinner last night. Amazing dinner I might add (thanks katie). And we got on the topic of laundry. So, Katie, this is for you. Washing your clothes in cold water is perfectly clean AND using hot and warm water only wastes energy. Here is the full article if you wish to read it, but I'll highlight the main points.
-Eighty to ninety percent of the energy used to wash clothes heats the water, a practice that is increasingly unnecessary as advances in clothes washers and laundry detergents have made it possible to get white and colored clothes perfectly clean in cold water. Except when washing out particularly tough stains, such as oil, every load of laundry done in hot water wastes energy.
-Set your water temperature to "cold" on your clothes washer. Unless your clothes have oil or grease stains, cold water is usually adequate to clean white and colored clothes. In fact, washing clothes in cold water allows fabrics to retain their color and strength longer.
