Clotheslines

Added: Jun 2nd, 2008
A lot of folks hate clotheslines. Perhaps they think it devalues their property. Perhaps they don t like being reminded that under our clothing we are all naked. Who knows why, because they are an exceptional conservation tool, and an excellent way to get politically involved. This is a serious step in conservation and also allows for a change in mindset. A potential evolution in cultural thought. And, if your housing association forbids them, then become a member of the board, or protest like hell until they change their minds. The former is better. The latter will probably work.

Cost per load electric dryer-$0.39, gas-$.30. Costs range between .$80 and $300 a year for dryers, and the cost of a clothesline will save you either 30 cents or 39 cents every load, and daily going up. Why not spend some nice quality time in the sun, hanging out your clothes to dry for free, and enjoying the ambience? Besides, most of us spend 90% of our times under a roof of some kind. Perhaps a little time outdoors in Nature might be cool. Wear a hat.
