Spring is slowly springing, at least in our part of the country. Today the rain is pounding down - oops, now the hail is pounding down. Soon however it will be time once again to give the dryer a break and start hanging our clothes out on the line for that fresh clean linen smell !
Clothes dryers emit an average of 1,440 pounds of carbon dioxide annually, drying your clothes on a clothesline in the spring and summer can prevent an estimated 700 pounds of carbon dioxide per average household from being released. Not to mention the considerable savings on your electric bill !
April 19th is national hang your laundry out to dry day, so I say, let's let it all hang out !
