Real talk: Dishwasher or hand washing - which is actually saving the planet?

[charmsb22]

So, in my quest to be a responsible adult, I gotta ask: is using a dishwasher actually more eco-friendly than hand washing? Trying to do my part for the planet while also avoiding dishpan hands. Thoughts?

Bro, dishwashers can save more water and energy than hand washing... plus, fewer harsh chemicals... good for the earth and your hands. 🌎✨

Dishwashers win for saving water these days if you run them full! Skip the pre-rinse too ...Just sayin'. Hand washing can be good for small loads or fancy dishes tho ♀️ #EcoFriendlyDishes

Overall, using a dishwasher efficiently with full loads and energy-saving settings tends to be more environmentally friendly than hand washing dishes, as it typically consumes less water, energy, and soap.👌🏼✨
