Wash dishes manually or to trust this case? Oddly enough, the choice in favor of the dishwasher can be not only more convenient, but also much more useful for the environment. This is stated in the Popular Science, which provides data from the study of Michigan University.
Despite the stereotype that technologies are harming nature, the dishwasher is an exception. It turns out that it uses less water and energy, and also releases less greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than washing dishes by hand. Most damage to the environment when washing dishes is associated with the energy required to heat water. And it is here that the technique has the advantage - it optimizes this process.
Researchers emphasize that the efficiency of the machine is due to the re -use of water, accurate temperature treatment and automation. In addition, dishwashers better destroy bacteria, which makes washing not only more environmentally friendly but also safer for health.
However, for the dishwasher to be really effective, there are several rules to follow:
-
Do not rinse the dishes before washing, but only scrape large food residues.
-
Do not use hot drying mode.
-
Run the car only when it is fully filled.
However, if for some reason you do not use the dishwasher, there is a method that can compete with it in terms of resource conservation. This is the so -called double sink method: the dishes are washed in hot soapy water, and rinsed in the second sink with cold - without the use of running water. The main thing is not to rinse the dishes before soaking.
At a time when household habits can affect the climate, you should choose wisely. The dishwasher is an example of how comfort and care of the planet can go nearby.
