I hang my laundry on the line. I usually hang it on Sunday. I hang it in rainbow order.
Below is the trailer for a film about clotheslines. The premise:
By 2010 more than 50 million homeowners will be banned from line drying clothes outdoors for the sake of preserving property value and prudishness, the ban which infringes on a homeowners civil rights is contributing to the environmental and energy crisis, considering the dryer is responsible for 6% of the average households energy bill, as well as costing the U.S. an estimated $5 billion annually.
This is a film about freedom, communities and clotheslines. Drying For Freedom follows the fight for the right to dry clothes naturally revealing the protests, passions, politics and murders asking how did drying clothes become a life threatening, environmental social catastrophe? Why can’t we be free and dry clothes naturally?
If the neighbors are a little freaked out by a clothesline (a permanent addition to the yard) perhaps they could be gently conditioned to the idea by seeing a nice laundry drying rack like this one being used on the patio or deck during the warm months?
ReplyDeleteThen after awhile of getting used to the concept they would be OK with the clothesline and neighborhood peace would be maintained...
