Household appliances involve 62% of the electrical consumption in Spanish housing, 3,489 kWh. Even when they are off, they can by “off-but on”: standby mode can consume up to 7%. The Washer is, among these three appliances, the one whose real energetic consumption depends on how you use it. And there we have dived...

Try different options to learn about energy consumption in this daily activity.

  • Heating water accounts for up to 85% of energy consumption dwashing; for most clothing a warm or cool program is enough.

  • Liquid detergents do washers "work less". Go easy on the jet! Unnecessary foam will be created, so the engine will "work" more. And extra pollution will be generated in the life cycle of that unnecessary detergent.
Are you thinking about changing your appliance?

Human beings are essentially social, but the dominant culture tries that we forget about that in order to multiply sales... Our brain rewards us when we cooperate! To reduce the environmental impact associated with consumption, while maintaining and even increasing the quality of life, we can rely on collaborative consumption.

Collaborative savings

Think about the differential impact that the crowd of underutilized appliance dispersed into multiple homes have versus public spaces with few robust and efficient machines (shared washers machines or vacuum cleaners; 'tool libraries' as drills or electric sanders...). Contemporary practices of co-housing in Denmark and the U.S. reinvent ways of living together that the European labor movement had already explored in the first decades of the twentieth century.
