11. The Habit Changes I Made—and Whether I’m Sticking With Air Dry
Throughout this experiment, I made several habit changes, such as adjusting the timing of my dishwasher cycles and incorporating the use of a rinse aid. These adjustments were relatively minor and easy to incorporate into my routine.
Ultimately, I’ve decided to continue using the air dry setting. The energy savings, reduced noise, and cooler kitchen environment outweigh the minor inconveniences of slightly longer drying times and occasional hand drying. This experience has demonstrated that small changes can contribute to more sustainable living without sacrificing convenience.
