"live better electrically"
Hi All,
We've seen some sun around here lately. Amazing. I have even been back out to the clothesline. Here is a reminder to everyone to harness solar power when you get a chance. Five billion dollars a year is spent in this country drying clothes. I prefer the free option.
I just came across the trailer for a film being made, sponsored by Project Laundry, an organization started by a Middlebury College graduate. I am on the email list and love the optimism this group has for a simple yet potentially profound act: hanging out laundry. I wanted to practice putting a link on my blog, I have never done it. Thanks to instructions from John Tsien, I finally accomplished it! A new dimension!
View this trailer for the up coming film, Drying for freedom.

No photo from me, but even in the big bad city of Hong Kong, on the 19th floor, we are hanging our laundry to dry.
While renovating the apartment, we made sure to install an exterior wall mounted laundry rack. If the clothes or sheets fall down, you just run down to the parking lot to pick them up (if the guard / doorman hasn't already done so).
We also installed rails in the ceiling near the laundry area to hang clothes overhead as well.
We still have a dryer, but it's used for when it rains, when we physically run out of space to hang clothes or for when we need things shrunken or extra soft.
