Laundromats proven to be eco-friendly...Cities throughout North America and around the world are recognizing that commercial, coin-op laundromats are actually a greener way to wash your clothes. On the surface, this may seem strange but governmental studies confirm that using laundromats is a more efficient and planet-friendly alternative to laundering your clothes at home. Why? It's simple - Laundromat owners are usually interested primarily in making a profit when someone walks into their location to do their laundry but he/she is limited in how much he/she can charge for this service based upon what his/her customer is willing to pay. Therefore, the laundromat owner can really only increase his/her profit by decreasing the amount of energy that is used per load. The laundromat owner does this simply by buying and supplying washers and dryers that are super-efficient (much more efficient than even the high-end home models available) and thus use LESS ENERGY to do a load of laundry - and increasing the profit. What a wonderful symbiotic relationship between capitalism and conservation. In this rare case, EVERYONE WINS! The customer gets a reasonable price for the service he/she is looking for, the business owner makes a fair profit and the impact on the environment is greatly reduced... All at the same time!
