Nothing beats the peak of summer, when the sun is hot and the air is dry, for putting laundry out on the line.
For this challenge, we will not be using a dryer until September 20th 2011 which happens to be the last day of summer. But we won't give up completely after that! Even in the fall, there are good drying days. Laundry will dry in surprising conditions, so don't be turned off by advancing clouds or cool breezes. Rain won't ruin your clothes and neither will leaving them out over night. Eventually the sun will return and dry your laundry.
By choosing to use an alternative drying method you will:
Save 100% of the electricity used by a dryer.
Use renewable and free energy provided by mother nature herself.
Make your laundry smell fresher and cleaner than ever before.
If you don't have a clothes line:
- Put up a clothes line
- Hang laundry on the railings of a balcony
- Lay laundry in a patch of sunny grass
- Put up a clothes line
If you don't have the space available to put up a clothes line, try hanging laundry on drying racks in front of a sunny window. Even better, open the window and let in the summer breeze!
We challenge you to hang your laundry outside!
Until next time,
Under A Tree
