Hand wash vs. Dishwasher
You'll use up to 35 percent less water by doing a full load of dishes, which haven't been pre-rinsed, in your dishwasher instead of by hand. You can also save about 15 percent on total dishwasher energy use if you select the air-dry setting or open the dishwasher's door instead of using its drying cycle.

We agree with
climatologists, scientists and other experts about the likely
catastrophic
results caused by increases in global surface temperatures tied to
increased
levels of carbon dioxide. As an approach
to climate change, we support and follow the Precautionary Principle
which
states, “When an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the
environment, precautionary measures should be taken, even if some
cause-and-effect relationships are not fully established
scientifically. In this context, the proponent of an
activity, rather than the public, should bear the burden of proof.” The
risks associated with the short-term and
long-term effects of increasing carbon dioxide emissions are too harmful
to sit
by and do nothing. The issue of climate
change is one which, if you are not trying to take steps to reduce your
environmental footprint, then you are part of the problem.
