Green Tip of the Day

Turn off your dishwasher's drying cycle. Just flip a switch and watch the energy savings. Expect to bank $25 per year on your electricity bill. You'll reduce the energy your dishwasher uses by 15%-50%. If there is no off switch for your dishwasher's drying cycle, just open the door when the cycle starts.

If 10,000 households air-dry their dishes, in a year it will have the same CO2-reducing effect as planting 3,343 trees.
