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.
