Hailey Van Zeyl 10/08/2019 7:01 AMI new that washing clothes in cold water was better for your clothes, washing your clothes in cold water can protect them from "fading, shrinking or bleeding. With cold water you can wash larger, unsorted loads without fear of tie-dying everything you own."What I didn't know was that washing your clothes in cold water can help the environment. "Washing 4 out of 5 loads of your laundry in cold water and you could cut out 864 pounds of CO2 emissions in a year. That’s equivalent to planting .37 acres of U.S. forest. "
