I Do 30 Campaign
Want to make a big difference simply by changing the way you wash close? The I Do 30 campaign is urging everybody to turn down the temperature on their washing machine to make a big impact.
Here’s a great video that gives a brief introduction of this movement:
Though this change may seem simple, the goal of this campaign is to get enough people to begin using colder temperatures to wash their close to make a big impact. They currently have over 12,000 supporters on Facebook and growing fast. It’s as simple as following their movement, changing your own habits and spreading the word. The more people that change their habits, the better.
What I love about this campaign is that it follows the same principal that Pays to Live Green does. Making small change change have a huge impact on both the environment and our wallets. My Shower Calculator shows just how much more energy heating water to higher temperatures can actually cost. By making the small change of using colder temperatures for our laundry, we can drastically cut our energy bills.

Thanks for letting me know about this movement! I for one do not even need to really wash with hot water so I’ll definitely be making that change.
