December 20 is Camisa Amassada
December 20 is Camisa Amassada Day, an initiative that aims to promote energy savings and care for the planet by not using the iron. This date, created by Argentine non-governmental organizations such as Red Solidaria, Dondereciclo.org and Mundo Invisible, highlights the environmental impact of using irons, which consume between 1,000 and 3,000 watts of electricity, much more than other household appliances. Studies show that by choosing not to iron clothes, a person can make a significant contribution to preserving the environment, comparing this choice to planting seven trees or avoiding the carbon dioxide emissions of seven cars. The practice also helps to reduce ambient temperatures and the effects of global warming.
