So there's huge potential to reduce the personal energy and water uses, and therefore your environmental footprints, by simply greening your laundry habit. Benefit to the environment not with standings, one can also save some greenbacks by following an earthfriendly laundry practice. The average household does almost 200 loads of laundry each year, consuming about 13,500 liters of water according to Energy Star. Switching to an Energy Star-qualified front-loading (or "horizontal axis") machine can save as much as 7,000 liters of water per year.
