Water is more important because you can use paper products which are made out of tree free paper.Tree free paper is a paper made out of cotton waste.This way you can save the trees and water both.For more knowledge about tree free paper please feel free to ask .

WATER!!

there are ways to go paperless and become less paper dependant.

If water is poisoned with the biproducts of paper production, no one will be alive to use the paper.

Don’t buy the paper products. You’re not really saving trees, as they come from farms, not forests, for the most part, and are replaced within a few years time. Also the bleaching and other chemicals used in manufacturing should be considered.

I don’t have a dishwasher, but do full loads, filled by manufacturer’s specifications. As for the water, I’m more concerned about water supply and transport, overdrafting, and other issues than purification. And wood processing? There’s a market for every part of the process.

Conserve the water and treat it like the life force it is, and support paper manufacturers who incorporate recycled materials into their products.

Good question.

It really depends (pun intended) if you have either a toilet or a bidet.

run your dishwasher to cleans your plastes and cups. sure it uses water but disposable paper products uses water too and not only that, it uses trees, chemicals, and plastic to wrap it and it ends up in the landfill after use which requires energy to transport.
running the dishwasher do uses energy and water but the difference at least is it saves trees and landfill space. to be more efficient with the dishwasher, use it only when you have a full load od plates, cups, utensils, etc. to wash and always aire dry them instead of using electricity to dry them.

I say you save the water from the dishes and pour it in a large hole outside. About 4ft x 4ft, and 3ft deep. Put a bucket in the middle of the hole, and cover the hole with plastic. Put a weight in the center (over your bucket) and wait. The clean water will evaporate and gather on the plastic and flow into the bucket. It’s also how you get clean water in a survival situation.
But you need some property to do this, and at least two pits depending on how often you do dishes.

water is more important. you need water to survive..it’s not just for hygiene like to shower and wash dishes, it’s a staple of life..something your body needs to LIVE.
wash cloths save lots of trees and money because they are re-usable/washable and you don’t buy the disposable paper towels to clean dishes/wipe your hands ect//
