Last week we examined where we get our clothes, now let’s look at how to take care of them. Chances are we can all make our dirty laundry a little easier on the planet. According to 2010 numbers in the Guardian, washing and drying a load of laundry every two days creates 440 kg of CO2 emissions each year, which they compare to “flying from London to Glasgow and back with 15-mile taxi rides to and from the airports.” Laundry won’t be the biggest stain on our daily green efforts, but it’s a place where a few easy changes can make a difference.
