We’d like to welcome everyone who’s coming to see us for the first time thanks to our redistribution at greenerMIAMI. We’re so proud to see our first site affiliation.

Hungry to shrink our electricity bills this summer, we go after our monster appliance sucking 1800-5000W of power. That’s right…the clothes dryer. We look into the inexpensive and surprisingly not-inconvenient option of letting the miserable heat of Florida’s summers do the work for us by drying on racks. See how this is going for us and check out some information on how you can get involved.

Links:

  • Project Laundry List - A group promoting information and advocacy of a clothes dryer-free lifestyle and a return to the clothes line. They’re a great place to start if you need information on fighting deed restrictions. We live in a “right to dry” state. Do you? Find out.
  • Treehugger.com - A discussion about deed restricted communities, difficulties in putting up clothes lines and drying racks, and property values.

    YES!
    we live in a 1960’s apt complex that had community laundry lines next to the laundry room, but someone cut one end of them down (they’re these big metal pole things). and now i’ve been bugging my neighbors to help me get it back up there. i can’t stand using the dryer in the arid climate of the bay area. it’s insane and expensive. i’m glad to know there are other dryer-opposers out there! w00t!
