Is there a real difference in water and electricity consumption? Personally, I don’t use a lot of water to wash my dishes (by hand), but maybe I should install a flow meter to make sure.

What is your opinion on the subject? Do you have any evidence or studies available that could confirm your intuition? Or do you have other alternatives in mind?

    I use paper plates and bowls and throw that shit away. Depending on what I ate, I can get a couple uses out of them.

        That’s life when you live in a vehicle.

        Edit to add: Depending where I am, I use my burnable trash for campfires. Factoring that and the fact I’m not using water or power to clean dishes, I’d argue that’s a net positive.

          well those are some extenuating circumstances if i’ve ever heard any.

          it still does seem like money you don’t have to spend tho.

            Yeah my situation is a bit unusual. My power and water supplies are limited so it’s less about money and more about finite resources.
