BANG FOR THE BITE

Do energy and water bills drain your resources?

The Bite

Put a plug in it. Consider using cold water instead of hot to wash your hands, since the cold, hard truth is that cold's usually just as effective.

 

The Benefits

 

Saving energy. Every 10-degree drop in H2O temperature saves you 3%-5% on water heating costs.

Saving water. Most faucets spit out 2 gal per min while you're waiting for the water to warm up.

Clean hands. With hand washing, the friction and the soap are what really get your hands clean. As far as water temp goes, you'd have to rinse your paws in boiling water to actually kill germs.

 

Personally Speaking

Most of us usually washed with cold even before we thought about the eco-friendly factor. At last, patience isn't a virtue.

 

Wanna Try?

 

The cold-water knob's usually the one on the right.
