CHALLENGE
Did you know, the temperature of your wash makes up to 60% of your laundry's CO2 footprint?1
Turning colder is a small change at home that can have a big impact on the environment. That's why Ariel PODS® are designed to deliver a brilliant clean even in a cold wash.
If everyone in the UK washed colder, we could save up to 750,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. That's the equivalent of taking up to half a million cars off the road!2
To make an even bigger impact, when we hit 1 million pledges, we'll donate £100,000 to WWF's climate, polar and wider conservation work to help protect our planet and everything on it. We'll also make a donation for every Ariel PODS® Cold Wash special pack purchased3.

Every degree makes a difference

Why cold wash matters
Lowering the temperature of your wash is the most important factor to reduce the environmental impact of the laundry process. Up to 60%1 of laundry's carbon footprint comes from heating the water - that's more than packaging, production and shipping!

How cold wash helps
Turning your wash temperature down can save up to 60%4 energy in every wash, showing that every degree you choose, makes a difference.

Can small changes at home really impact the environment?
Because the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, we joined scientific leader, Martin Nielsen, and soil science geographer, Birgitte Danielsen, at their Arctic station in Greenland to find out.
