Using the dishwasher can save water, yet 1 in 5 US households with one don't use it

20% of U.S. households with a dishwasher don't even use it; here's why that may be bad

In an effort to signal concern and action, consumer foods giantP&G noted how it "needs water to make our products, and consumers need water to use most of our products." Among its goals, the company pledged to help with restoration in the water-stressed metropolitan areas of Los Angeles and Mexico City. It also is aiming to educate consumers on how to reduce their own water footprint at home.

Research from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency seems to back up this claim, too.

Products and appliances that receive this label help consumers save money on electricity bills and help protect the environment by causing fewer emissions from power plants.
