Hand washing dishes can use more energy and hot water than a dishwasher. To save water, I will use a dishwasher and scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading them into the dishwasher.

Plastic in Clothing and Water

    I'm really glad I chose the challenge about dishwasher efficiency. I spent some time reading through articles about modern dishwashers actually work better if you scrape the food off rather than pre-rinse. As I work towards shifting this lifelong habit, I'm excited to see if our water bill is also noticeably reduced.
