Thanks for sharing such wonderful tips. I’ did’t know about such little things like unplug the appliances where it’s not in use still it sucks electricity, some usages of dish washer. Really you have done nice job through this blog post.

I personally like to soak all of my dishes prior to putting them into the dishwasher. It doesn't waste any water, but soaks them enough to where a simple rinse will get rid of any build-up.

But, I also avoid using a microwave at all costs. I've heard all sorts of reasons why they are unhealthy for you. Did you know that Russia actually banned all microwaves, because a study revealed that you were more likely to get colon cancer from eating microwaved foods.

Food blenders, of course hand washing a few if you need to is better than running an empty dishwasher, but this is comparing doing a full load by hand vs. a full load by dishwasher.

For doing kitchen dishes Mum was most efficient in the early 50's. There were 11 kids in our family.

Mum would open the kitchen window then throw all the bowls, plates, glasses, serving platters, cutlery, and chopsticks out the window and exclaim, "There! That's finished. Now I'm going shopping to buy some tableware."

P.S.
The kids always had to do pots and pans.

Thanks for the post.

Wonderful tips! You are doing great work. This post awareness of save electricity, water and money. Thanks.

Another area you can save energy is when cooking with water.

Boiling water in a kettle is much more efficient than heating it up in a pan. Also, don't boil more water than you need to - measure water for tea/coffee by filling the kettle a mug at a time, and be conservative when measuring for things like pasta. You can always add more later!
