Day 1 of My Epic Eco Challenge

So, I recently finished re-reading a book called 'Sleeping Naked Is Green' by Vanessa Farquharson, which details her attempt to make one eco-friendly change every day for 365 days.
I have challenged myself to follow in her footsteps.
Today's change: using cold water for doing the dishes, washing hands, shaving legs, doing laundry, and lukewarm for showers.
A HUGE amount of energy is used to heat water. Turning down my water heater isn't an option (Mom's house, Mom's rules), and this is definately the next best thing.
