Overview
Clean Air and Clean Energy Campaign
Based in London Ontario, Clothesline Campaign promotes cleaner air and reduced carbon emissions through direct and efficient use of pure solar and wind energy to dry clothes on traditional reel to reel clotheslines.
Hang Your Hydro Bill Out To Dry
Drying laundry using air and time is not only environmentally friendly, but easier on your pocket book. A family of four using an electric dryer 4 hours per week will spend $240 dollars more on electricity in a year. Costs are expected to rise next year.
Get a Clothesline
Don't just get a bumper sticker ribbon to show your colours. Get a clothesline today. Most local home hardware stores can supply tall, rigid 6 inch by 6 inch wooden posts, clothesline, reels, and accessories for under $200.
Contest: It's That Time of Year Again
The winners of last years clotheslines were so happy with their outdoor lines that the Clothesline Campaign has decided to run the contest again this year. Applicants can email info@clotheslinecampaign.org with their name, address and telephone number, and tell us why they would enjoy having an outdoor reel to reel linear clothesline. Five winners will be chosen. Help to save the planet and your pocketbook by using an outdoor clothesline.
Do It Yourself
You may want to check out the how-to videos that abound on YouTube and elsewhere on the net. Of course, the staff at the store where you purchase your clothesline should be happy to point out someone who can explain all about how it is done.
