As previously discussed, washing dishes with a dishwasher uses about 1/10th the water that washing by hands uses.
A few very easy habits can optimize your dishwasher usage, save money, and help the environment:
1. Rinse dishes with grey water before loading them in the dishwasher
2. Fill the dishwasher before starting it - just a few more dishes each time can save several washes each year (saving water, power, and dishwashing detergent)
3. Open the door to let them air dry instead of using power to heat dry.

And, as always, compost - compost - compost!
