Thousands of lakes are prohibited to swimmers due to the presence of blue algae. This type of algae is in fact bacteria that secretes toxins that quickly multiplies in the presence of phosphate. Moreover, the presence of phosphate in water streams favors the propagation of algae, which cuts oxygen essential to the survival of aquatic species.

Tips:
Using Energy Star appliances along with third-party certified eco-friendly products is a great way to consume responsibly. Avoid using your dishwasher during peak hours (morning and night) by using the "delay" function button on your appliance. Spreading the demand for energy means less overall capacity required.
