Allow Line Drying Laundry Everywhere!
Target:
All neighborhoods and cities who have rules against line drying laundry.
Sponsored by:
Line drying laundry is not only better for the environment, it is also better for your clothing; however, many homeowners associations are forbidding this eco-friendly practice, stating that it is an 'eyesore'.
Clothing dryers account for about 300 injuries and 10 deaths annually.

This is a no-brainer! I can't believe that we need a petition about this...

How can a simple and harmless solution to reducing our nation's carbon footprint be thwarted for reasons of aesthetics? Haven't we left the "Leave it to Beaver" mentality of a squeaky image behind...aren't green lawns no longer considered a sign of wealth, happiness and beauty but rather seen as environmentally destructive and short-sighted landscaping choice?

it might be considered an eyesore and lower property values but drying laundry outside cuts down on the use of electricity. there can be amenable compromises -- only drying laundry on certain days, between certain hours, etc.

Laundry drying is not an "eyesore", there is nothing offensive about it. It is just that a long time ago, it used to be considered "lower class". It is a CLASS thing entirely, NOT an "aesthetic" thing at all. Now with the absolute imperative to SAVE ENERGY in all ways we can, SOLAR DRYING OF LAUNDRY {because that is what this IS!}, just MAKES PERFECT SENSE.

It was forbidden in our city too, but after all the normality won. :-)

I've been advocating this idea for years! The smell of fabric softener in the air from hot air dryers is so unpleasant and so unhealthy.

Please, a little nature doesn't hurt. We are humans, after all, not demi-gods with no laundry !

An eyesore? For me the sight of laundry drying in the afternoon breeze gives me the sense of home, of community. Laundry hanging on the line says a "family lives here & we have to do laundry just like everybody else." It just seems a natural thing to me to have a clothes line.
