Skip the dryer April 19 on National Hanging Out Day!In another effort to add to the trite cliche of "being green," I entreat you to cast away your dryer - at least for a day. Greater Seattle residents - just because you live in Seattle doesn't mean you can't line dry your clothes.
Opting for line-drying doesn't mean having to set up an elaborate hang-dry system in your yard. Instead, try transforming what you already have - inside your home.
- - Make practical use out of art. (Once a month my decorative bundle of sticks turns into a scivies dryer.)
- - Be more industrious with things you use every day. (Use your door knobs, curtain rods and doorframes to hang hangers.)
- - Brunch for you and a friend at Maltby Cafe as a result of lowered energy costs (savings could equal up to $20 - $25)
- - A few less trips to buy socks as a result of longer lasting clothes (especially clothes with spandex or lycra)
- - Preserved brain cells as a result of decreased bleach usage (considering that sunlight is a "natural bleach")
- - A nice smelling room
Happy National Hanging Out Day!
