]]> Comment on Washing Dishes by Hand, or Machine? by Ian http://www.spartansaving.com/money-savers/washing-dishes-by-hand-or-machine/#comment-135 Ian Wed, 28 Sep 2011 12:42:27 +0000 http://www.spartansaving.com/?p=83#comment-135 You are correct that it might be cheaper to wash by hand. However, because dishwashers use hotter water they kill more bacteria than hand washing. The energy cost is maybe an issue but it is a trade off really. You can spend the time that you aren't standing over the sink earning some extra cash by doing surveys or selling old DVDs on eBay, for instance. Anyway, I like this post. It is good to see some numbers around the hand-washing/ dishwasher debate. You are correct that it might be cheaper to wash by hand.

]]> Comment on P2000 Insulation by David Cameron http://www.spartansaving.com/money-savers/p2000-insulation/#comment-130 David Cameron Tue, 13 Sep 2011 18:20:56 +0000 http://www.spartansaving.com/?p=56#comment-130 The question of "environmentally friendly?" is not answered properly. P2000 is polystyrene not cellulose...its a petro-chemical plastic. The very good news is that this is one of the best uses ever found for plastic & instead of buning oil as gasoline we should be making & using things like P2000 derived from oil. The even better news is that hemp & other organics can be transformed into plastics which could be used to make organic, renewable P2000 in the future. More good news? Yes, using P2000 so reduces heating/cooling requirements that ponds of petro-fuels are saved from being burned, greatly enhancing the ecological vlue of P2000.
