Fairy Dishwashing Leaflet (Mar10)

Procter & Gamble are printing 20,000 copies of their leaflet advising consumers on dishwashing – both by hand and by machine.   I’ve written four pages in the leaflet on green dishwashing.   One of my bug-bears is people who effectively wash their dishes before putting them in the dish-washer.  Of course you need to scrape the plate to get rid of food debris but it’s wasteful to do this with water, especially if it’s hot and going straight down the drain.
