The Environmental Club presents the Eco Fact of the week for the week of November 25th -- One surprising way you can help conserve energy is by using a dishwasher instead of hand washing! More specifically, if you use pre-rinse with the dishwasher, you’ll only use around 1 gallon of water. However, pre-rinsing with the sink for 5 minutes uses up to 25 gallons of water! Help to preserve our resources and properly sort your trash!
