Spring, summer, and autumn offers us a great opportunity to reduce both our carbon dioxide emissions and energy expenses. As a child, my parents would hang laundry out to dry. I always loved the fresh smell and feel of the warm laundry when it was brought in.
As an adult, we hang our freshly washed laundry out to dry on everyday that is rain free. We reduce the wear and tear on our dryer. Additionally, we are increasing our energy efficiency by not heating a portion of our house while simultaneously running the air conditioner.
If you don't have a clothes line, you can purchase collapsable hanging racks. We use three drying racks for each full load of laundry. They are compact enough that I can fit three on our back porch. The downside of the drying racks is that it takes clothes longer to dry than from using a clothesline.
What do you like about line drying your clothes?
