Today after a prolonged period of sitting around thinking about how tortureously hot it is outside, and how few clean clothes I had, I realized that a good solution encompassing both of those factors would be to wash my clothes and hang them outside on the line. Yes, the old fashioned way. No lint collectors, no ventilation ducts, no noise, no dryer fires, and most importantly, no electricity expended. Electric clothes dryers take up about five to ten percent of your energy bill. If you hang out your clothes, as I did here...


for the price of a rack, clothesline, and a few of these handy pins, you can dry your laundry using the free power of the Sun. You will save money, exert a little energy of your own, and reduce pollution. Precipitation is the only limiter. In the winter, you can dry your clothes indoors on a small rack, or (carefully) dry them outside. Any high school chemistry student can affirm this. A great resource on hanging out your clothes and links for the necessary accesories is Project Laundry List, a group run by my good friend and activist Alex Lee. Think twice next time you turn on your dryer when it's 80 degrees and sunny. Lastly, here's a picture I took of my self in the bathroom mirror.




PS. The show last night only paid 10 dollars. Time to get a real job.
