I don't know much, but what I do know for certain is that kids get dirty. This goes double for the infant crowd. Spit ups and "accidents" (which are not really accidents at all) prove to me that most parents do a lot of laundry. This then logically entails a lot of dryer use, doesn't it?
LINE DRY!!
Instead of wasting your hard earned cash and coal powered energy on drying your favorite Spider-Man shirt, why not let the sun do it for free? Line drying used to be part of the American experience up until the 1960's when widespread adoption of machine dryers cornered it out. Now, clothes line are making a comeback due to environmental concerns, so join the movement.
Not a lot is needed to line dry. A sturdy line, the sun and space between the clothes to allow for proper drying that is it. It doesn't matter if you live in the country, suburbs or city, this simple way to conserve energy and save up to $25 a month on your energy bill is perfect for all locales. So enjoy that fresh scent in your clothes and that heavy wallet as the little one has another "accident" all over that pretty Spider-Man shirt.
