“This is why we are encouraging our customers to wash their clothing at 30°C. It is a small change, but it can make a very big difference. It's not only effective on around 70% of M&S garments, but it's also economical and better for the environment - saving around 40% of energy on each wash. If we all moved to washing at 30°C we could save enough electricity to light every street lamp in the UK for 10 months.”(iii)
“As part of the 'We're in This Together' campaign, we will develop other practical 'carbon-friendly' solutions and ideas for our customers over the course of the year.”
