My #OptOut #SpendingStrike post today is about line drying clothes. A friend tells me that in US this was just not done, would draw complaints from neighbours when she lived in US 30 years ago. Is this still so? I love the smell of line dried sheets, and sun is such a good disinfectant, and driers are such energy sucking short lived appliances. It's a wet day here, but still, the clothes will at worst get another rinse in sweet smelling, soft rain water.

Toot

@lindawoodrow (Australian) this year is the first time in my life I've owned a clothes dryer (combo washer dryer) and even still I line dry everything except towels. Not only is line drying less resource intensive but improves the longevity of clothes too, which is so important for reducing textile waste
