Every year, on April 19th, Project Laundry List joins together with hundreds of organizations from around the country to educate communities about energy consumption. National Hanging Out Day was created to demonstrate how it is possible to save money and energy by using a clothesline.
- Electric dryers use five to ten percent of residential electricity in the United States
- There are 88 million dryers in America, and if everyone converted to lines 1/2 the year it could reduce residential output of CO2 by 3.3%
- Clothes last longer when air dried
- Indoor racks can humidify your home in dry winter weather
- Clothes dryer fires account for about 15,600 structure fires, 15 deaths, and 400 injuries annually
Give it a try and watch your electric bill shrink!
We'll never go back. Our dryer is just taking up space now.
