Featured Action

Hang dry your clothes half the time

Earth Hour is coming up on March 27 at 8:30 p.m. local time. It's a chance to show political leaders that millions of people are serious about addressing climate change, but it's also a time for you and your family to make a difference in your daily lives. Live Earth Hour every hour by making little changes that add up.

Next to the refrigerator, the clothes dryer is the top energy-using appliance in the house. It costs about $100 a year to run it. This week, rig up a clothesline or rack in your laundry room and try hanging at least half your clothes to dry. Drying all your clothes naturally will save over 200 kilograms of greenhouse gas emissions - but half the time is a good start! Learn More...
