Green Fact of the Day

Do Full Loads!

Whenever you wash just a few clothes or dishes at a time rather than waiting for a full load to accumulate, you're wasting water, power, and money. The average American family of four washes about 540 loads of laundry a year, which consumes up to 21,000 gallons of water, and more than 150 loads of dishes, which uses about 1,500 gallons. Most of the energy consumed by washers goes toward heating the water -- about 90 percent in the clothes washer and 80 percent in the dishwasher. Combining half-loads, choosing short cycles, and using cold or warm rather than hot water in the clothes washer racks up savings.

Tip: Wash two fewer loads of clothes and one fewer load of dishes a week and save up to 4,500 gallons of water a year.

Weight Watchers Open House July 22

Join the Augsburg Weight Watchers at Work group for an open house on Tuesday, July 22 from 2:30 - 3 p.m. in Lindell 301. The Weight Watchers group will begin a new 7-week summer "shorts" series on Tuesday, July 29. The series will run through September 16 (no meeting on September 2).

This is a great way to give Weight Watchers a try without committing to an entire 17-week session.

Bring your wallet if you plan to join - the cost of the session is $87, which can be paid by cash, check or credit, and in one lump sum or three payments.

Our group is an amazing collection of men, women, faculty, staff and students, and we'd love for you to join us. Questions? Contact Cherie Christ at 612-330-1476 or christc@augsburg.edu.
