First of all, I hate using my dishwasher. Seems silly to me, but they say less water is used with the dishwasher. Filling a basin with water and just rinsing might use even less water. Don't know. In any case, I have started to stop the dishwasher when it starts the dry cycle. With my dishwasher that's a good 30 minutes of hot air. I just open up the dishwasher, pull out the shelves and let it air dry. Not using heat in the drying cycle saves 20% of your dishwasher's total electricity use.
My goal is to stop using the dishwasher altogether. It has to be better. It is especially easy when one is a vegan. No animal fat to break down. Half my dishes just need a rinse as it is. Plus when I cook my wonderful recipes, I wash as I go.
