It takes more energy for your water heater to heat the water
from the tap than it does for your stove to bring cool water to a
boil.

If you must use a warm-wash/cold-rinse setting on your washing
machine, you can still save approximately 65% of the energy you
would use with a hot-wash/warm-rinse setting.
- Tip:
A bath takes 15 to 25 gallons of hot water, but a 5-minute
shower uses less than 10 gallons.
