Hang your Laundry Day!
Today (Thursday) is hang your laundry day!
Did you know that there are now many places in North American where
you are prohibited by local laws from hanging your laundry?
Evidently it is because this is a symbol of poverty which the
communities want to eliminate the sight of. Did you also know how
much energy you can save by hanging your laundry? There are 88
million dryers in America, and if everyone converted to lines it
could reduce residential output of CO2 by 3.3%. Not to mention the
smell of those sheets and clothes from the fresh air!
So everyone hang your laundry today! and if you don't have a laundry
line- put one up today! And if it's illegal in your community- do it
anyway! (I once lived in a community where laundry lines were
illegal; I put one up and used it regularly and never went to jail...)
TOP FOUR REASONS TO HANG OUT YOUR CLOTHES
Electric dryers use five to ten percent of residential energy.
1. Clothes last longer.
2. Clothes and sheets smell better.
3. Save energy, thus preventing pollution.
4. Save money.
