Over the weekend, I’ve managed to catch up with most of my washing – finally. As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve been trying to discover more ways which hand washing benefits the environment and/or my clothes. An obvious benefit which I had not really thought about was that not using the washing machine or dryer saves electricity as well as saving water. A benefit which I have found for myself is that there is actually something quite satisfying about washing them; I’d never go so far as to say that it’s a stress relief/therapeutic.

Darren Clarke commented on Day 26: The Benefits 4 years agoHi Rachel. It's fantastic that you are also see the multiple benefits of washing your clothes from reduced electricity and water use. Also, glad to hear that you've caught up on washing your clothes. I suppose it makes sense that a cold wash works as we are repeatedly being told by advertisements that a 30° wash is fine with most detergents but it's great that you've shown this with handwashing too. Have you learnt something new about how change happens? In what ways have your experiences during the challenge influenced your relationship with how you see and enact change? Looking forward to reading the final few posts. Darren Respond
