As the worldwide movement for climate change really starts to gather some momentum, one small piece of house hold equipment is generating a huge amount of interest especially in the USA.

Al Gore is at the forefront of the global climate change campaign and he lists the use of a clothes line or laundry line, in his top 10 things the average person can do to help reduce their eco foot print and help in the fight against climate change.

The growing movement in the USA calling for the use of laundry lines and clothes lines is headed by a group called the Laundry List, which helps to inform and rally its members on the use of natural drying devices and help in the fight against strict local covenants which ban the use of laundry lines in many states and neighbourhoods throughout the United States.

Estimates on the savings that can be achieved by using a clothes line or laundry line to dry washing and laundry naturally, range from a 3% to 10% reduction in your total homes energy consumption.

By eliminating the need for a tumble dryer or at least reducing its use in your home can have a number of ongoing effects such as these listed below,

• an immediate saving on your energy and electricity bills
• clothes have a fresh smell and last longer as they are dried naturally
• you get some exercise hanging out the laundry
• you feel better as you get outside in the sun and fresh air
• tumble driers do not need to be manufactured anymore which is a massive saving to the environment and planet
• new power infrastructure does not need to be built as we are reducing our energy requirements

These are just a few points that relate to the use of clothes lines, washing lines, laundry lines and clothes airers throughout the world.

Natural clothes drying products which harness the suns energy to dry laundry and that are eco friendly can help to make a very big difference today!

We all need to help in the fight for the right to dry laundry in your own backyard which is the main issue that is affecting the use of laundry lines throughout America.

Just imagine if we all stopped using tumble dryers permanently, we could reduce the global power bill by around 5% just like that!

Now that would be people power in motion and one movement that governments and politicians would have to sit up and take notice of.
