Doing dishes by hand can save twice whats used in a dishwasher. When washing dishes by hand, don't leave the tap running, plug the sink or use a portable dishpan.

Save 14 to 17 percent more by doing only full loads in the dishwasher and washing machine. And when it comes time to buy new appliances, look for those that are efficient and have settings for saving cycles. 

The number one reason for poor dishwasher performance is temperature that is too low on the first cycle.  

By using a Chilipepper appliance you can be sure to have full temperature hot water available for that first fill.

If using a dishpan for dishwashing, carefully carry the wastewater outside and dump it on your garden or lawn to give your lawn or garden an extra drink (during the summer your plants will appreciate the effort).

When cleaning vegetables and fruit, plug the sink or use a portable tub instead of rinsing under running water (save this for your plants, too). Accumulate the vegetable and fruit trimmings and other waste before you use the garbage disposal. Dispose of all the waste at once.

Use a little water and a lid on the pot when cooking most food. This method uses less and any left over can be applied to your plants (be sure to let it cool first). Instead of running the tap to get a cold drink, keep a container  in the refrigerator.
