According to CSIRO's Science by Email  on 31 July 2009, each year the energy used to run an average clothes washer produces about 90 kilograms of greenhouse gas, and supplying warm water for washing adds another 475 kilograms and costs around $30.

I have not washed my clothes in hot water for years!
