The empty closet challenge
From various articles I’ve read, I learned that most people tend to use the same clothes (about 20% of their wardrobe) and avoid the rest (around 80%). This information made me reflect on how I tend to use only a portion of my wardrobe as well, leading me to do laundry every 4 to 5 days. This is why I wanted to take on this challenge: to try and use all the clothes in my wardrobe and see how much I can reduce my laundry. I managed to avoid doing laundry for two weeks, washing only the essential items I needed by hand.
After this challenge, I was able to reduce my electrical energy consumption by 1600 watts, which would be 3200 watts per month.
