- Use an energy efficient washing machine.
- Wash less often.
- Use cold water.
- Avoid harmful chemicals – skip the dryer sheets.
- Use a clothesline or dryer balls to reduce energy consumption.
- Dry on low heat rather than medium or high heat.
- Choose natural clothing fibers to reduce micro-plastic waste.
