Wow! what a course this is. Remind me of my undergraduate days courses microbial metabolism and enzymology. Never in my life think tumble dryer will consume more energy than washing machine, was a bit shocked with this new discovery. My favorite course so far!

Think of using washing macine is very important for the environment. We need to think about water, micro plastic, heat energy and so on. At first, I will dry my wet cloths from washing machine in my garden.

Do wash at low temperature and only 3/4 full. Max 2 spoons of detergent and extend times between washings. When hang drying inside also mind the humidity but definitely HangnDry!

This is a very interesting course that help to understand why not always "more is equal than better", more detergent, more hot water, and so on are not always the best choise. Read the lesson and you will understand why ;-)

This course totally opened my eyes to how much energy my laundry uses, and I'm already changing my habits.

I thought I was pretty sustainable, but this course showed me just how much water and energy goes into simply washing and drying clothes. The practical tips for reducing my footprint, like using colder water and air-drying more often, are incredibly easy to implement. I feel empowered to make smarter choices that will definitely extend the life of my garments while benefiting the planet.
