The other day, I spotted this ad in the subway.
There are bunch of different energy tips. They are generally common sense and correct. However, when I saw this one, I could not resist. This is completely incorrect. The ad reads:
"Run your dishwasher only when it is full" Cool. Good tip, correct. This way it will reduce the times you run your dishwasher.
But the ad also says " Scrap dishes before placing them in the dishwasher". This is plainly wrong. Dishwashers are 1) pretty good at getting rid of scraps 2) do not spend extra power or cycles depending on the cleanness of your dishes, unless you have a super dishwasher that decides how many cycles to perform by checking the cleanness of your dishwasher.
What a BS. If you are going to encourage people to save energy, do it by telling the truth. Do not make up BS facts.

If people scrap their plates first it's that much more likely to come out clean at the end, which should cut down on the number of times they put still-dirty dishes back in for a second or third run.
