I've decided to do a monthly update of my usage. If anyone actually cares for more detail just ask away, I track daily here.

The weather is ugly fall/winter so clothes line usage is way down for me.

From october 17th to November 17th

31 Cold loads washed
4 Hot loads washed
29 Loads dried in dryer
3 loads dried on clothes lines
5 loads partially dried in drier
94.57 KWH costing $7.28 estimated to have been used
6.77 KWH worth $0.52 estimated to have been saved using the clothes line
69.84 KWH worth $5.38 estimated to have been saved using cold water

for a grand total savings of $5.90 by using cold and the clothes line.


3.24 lbs of C02 generated and 2.4 lbs were saved

it seems like a lot of laundry and it is but I believe it's less then the "average" the energystar people use.
