The next time you're doing laundry, consider what kind of clothing you're washing. Hot water can cause bright colors to run and fade, and can shrink certain types of fabric. Hot water can also damage certain synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon, and vinyl. The heat breaks down the fibers and can ruin the fabric.

Answer:

carbon dioxide is produced each year per household from washing and drying a load of washing every two days. These carbon dioxide negatively impact the environment and provoke climate change. Also, when washing clothes, around 90% of the energy goes into heating up the water
