An average top-loading washing machine uses 50 gallons of water per load, and 933 kWh of electricity per year. Since Americans alone wash over 35 billion loads of laundry per year, the numbers are more than a little scary. Reduce your impact by running only full loads of laundry. If you don’t have enough clothes to fill a whole machine, try pairing up with a friend or neighbor. That cutie at the Laundromat may just have enough reds to top off your load, so hike up your courage and ask! Green is sexy, so combining laundry loads can help you help the earth and might even be a spiffy opener for a flirty conversation.
