10 Seconds to Green #2

Okay, so how many of you have been unplugging your computers and phone chargers at night? All of you? Awesome.
Today, Goddess and Guru bring you yet another way to be eco-friendly and lazy at the same time.

10s2g.2:

throw your sweatshirt on the floor



I'm serious.
There are some items of clothing that should really be washed after each use. Like your gym socks. WASH THEM. However, there are other accoutrements that really don't need to be laundered all that often.
I doubt you sweat all over skinny jeans (at least I hope your don't). And that sweatshirt probably doesn't need to go in the wash until you get pizza grease on it.
Do you realize what it takes to run a washing machine? 40 gallons of water. .256 kilowatt-hours per load. Actually, nevermind, I think I'll do a laundry lecture tonight or tomorrow...enough for now.
Long story short, the fewer loads, the better. So don't wash clean clothes.
