Ideal Bite: Full of Crap

SAVING WATER AND ENERGY Full of Crap If 10,000 Biters run their dishwashers only when full, in a year we'll save enough water to fill 68,000 hot tubs. Do you believe your dishwasher saves water? Trust: If you only run it when it's full, it does. Try to use appliances like washers and dryers when they're completely loaded to avoid wasting energy and water. Believe it. Credulous resource savings. Your clothes washer's gonna use the same amount of energy and H2O whether you throw in one skort or 20; if you run it only when it's filled, you'll conserve more than 3,400 gallons of water per year. No lie: You'll save cash. Only running the dishwasher when comfortably packed saves you about $40 a year. Heather dedicates this tip to all her friends who run their dishwasher every single night whether full or not. She's been watching… Fill 'er up - just don't pack in too much or your stuff might not get fully cleaned, and nobody wants to run the washer twice for the same load. The U.S. military spent $20 million creating self-cleaning underwear that don't (technically) need changing for several weeks - they use nanoparticles and chemicals to repel bacteria and liquids.
