People are notoriously stupid. But then again, all those Science⢠studies measuring things like the amount of water it takes to wash the dishes across a whole country makes you think that those scientist guys gotta have some clairvoyance powers ::) |

Or people are so used to using dishwashers, they don't know how to do dishes by hand efficiently. I use about 10 liters. It's not difficult unless you are stupid. --- End quote --- Not FUD. The study said the spread was huge: between 30 and 440L!!! o_O But the upshot is, a dishwasher pretty much always uses less water, and because of that, less energy. I also suspect that the people who say they use just a few L aren't comparing the same amount of dishes. |

I'm pretty sure I use less energy when washing cold, than any dishwasher and I still use less, even when I need to use hot water. I never fill the the sink. I wet the dishes, apply detergent to the brush, scrub and cold rinse. If a pan is very greasy, I put a small amount of hot water and detergent in it, leave it to soak, scrub to loosen the grease and rinse with cold water. |

I can save more water by peeing in my garden instead of flushing a toilet... |
