Play it cool: Quite a dish - answer
> > > > > >
A) Dave, Max and Jess load the lunch dishes into the
dishwasher

Jess says "Smart
choice Dad!
For a full load of
dishes, a modern dishwasher will actually use less
energy than if you wash the same amount of dishes
in hot water by hand. This is because, even though
a dishwasher uses electricity to run, more electricity
is used to heat the bigger amount of water needed
to wash the dishes in the sink.
Hey, but don't worry if your house doesn't have a dishwasher - it's about taking
small steps where you can. And there's lots of other
stuff you can do to reduce emissions." |
Did you know?
Almost half the electricity used
in New Zealand homes goes on heating water.
More cool ideas
- Take showers instead of baths
if possible. If every Kiwi did this it would save 2% of
the
energy used by New Zealand
homes.
- Try and have shorter showers - heating hot water uses
heaps of electricity.
