Play it cool: Quite a dish - answer

B) Do the dishes in the sink

Jess says "You're in hot water this time, 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.
