Do you recycle?

Following on from the question, which I received from a reader and posted to the blog a few days back, I have received a few more questions from a couple of other readers who would like our help.

Today’s question comes from Sally.

Hi Ecobloke!

30 or 40 Degrees? Have your say!

I received an email from one of my readers last week asking for advice on laundry. I have posted the email below, in the hope that we can find him the answer.

Here is what Paddy wants to know:

Hello Eco Bloke

Thanks for helping to raise awareness of how we can all help.

I was wondering about something. Is it best to wash my clothes at 30 or 40 degrees?

You see, when I use 30 degrees, the washing machine takes in the cold water and uses electricity to warm it up.
