Dryer vs Clothesline
The Dryer:
Accounts for 6-10% of your electric bill, second only to your refrigerator.
Uses natural resources to run, natural gas, oil, coal; all are burned in the production of electricity, putting countless pounds of CO2 into the air we need to breathe.
Clothes dryer and washing machine fires account for about 17,700 structure fires, 15 deaths, and 360 injuries annually. The yearly national fire loss for clothes dryer fires in structures is estimated at $194 million. Please visit www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/5022.html for more information.
The Clothesline:
Is a tried and true method of clothes drying that has been used for thousands of years.
It's free.
It has no adverse affects to the environment.
The sun will naturally whiten your clothes and remove stains without the use of bleach.
The air is a natural deodorizer.
The sun a natural germ killer.
Clothes last longer... what do you think lint is??? Little pieces of your clothes being tumbled off of them.
Using the clothesline is considered moderate exercise, along with getting outside and breathing the fresh air there are health and mental benefits... many people say putting clothes out and in on the clothesline is medatative.
Drying clothes inside during the winter adds moisture to dry air.
