A Little More Line...

Graphs don't lie. This nifty illustration came from Project Laundry List, a non-profit group advocating the production and usage of energy from sustainable sources, i.e. the sun.

Their website, with a nice helping of wit and creativity, offers some good information about the benefits of line drying and more. Clothesline art can be found there as well.

From their website, a nice quote:

"We must all hang together, or most assuredly we will all hang separately."
-Benjamin Franklin

Walkin' the Line

On the very local scene, as local as your back yard, a new-old technique of powering your clothes dryer: the sun! Zero carbon footprint.

The clothesline movement is growing as a green alternative. Over the past 50 years, as electric dryers, albeit energy hogs, became ubiquitous, many neighborhoods have outlawed line drying for "aesthetic" reasons. But the TIDE is changing. Who's looking at my underwear anyway?
