Do you remember as a kid seeing your mother hang the clothes on the clothesline and a few hours later helping her to take them down and smelling the freshness of each piece? Even in the winter you'd be pulling in frozen pieces of clothes that would stand on their own. Now most people ONLY use dryers ... lots of dryers!
Over 80% of our households have a clothes dryer drawing huge amounts of energy! If every household participated for even one day hanging their clothes to dry it would save us a huge amount of energy and a huge dollar savings. More importantly that translates into less charcoal pollutants and thus less health consequences associated with coal driven electricity. As a global community, if we could all hang our clothes to dry, it will mean healthier mentalities, healthier relationships and a healthier earth. And that's just one day; how about a week, a year, a lifetime?

I'm so glad I've got your blog on my reader... you're an inspiration to lead and live a better life.
and yes, thank you for this reminder... I won't lie, I've become a little cynical about the whole "if we all do it it will make a difference" thing and just kind of go with the flow... please never lose your sense of hope and vision... you see rainbows where others just see the storm. keep looking and showing everyone around you.
