If You Have a Dishwasher, Use It!

You can use up to 27 gallons of water per load when you wash dishes by hand, versus using as little as 3 gallons of water with an Energy Star rated dishwasher.

And scrape off food off by hand, don’t rinse. For more stubborn dishes with dried-on foods, run them through your dishwasher on rinse cycle instead of running them under tap water.
