NEW! SkyJuice Green T-shirt! SkyJuice is promoting green methods as well as local New England artists. Using Peter Welch's "Washday" painting, we are promoting the use of Clothes lines as something YOU can do to help stop global warming.
Clothes dryers use approximately 6% of energy use in the residential sector in US states. In 2005, there were 88 million dryers in the US, (The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers). The Christian Science Monitor estimates that these dryers consume annually 1,079 kilowatt hours of energy per household, creating 2,224 pounds (or slightly over 1,008 kilograms) of carbon-dioxide emissions per year. 88 million dryers = 94,952 million kilowatt hours of energy! By comparison, California's nuclear power industry produced only 36,155 million kilowatt hours of energy in 2005. Clothes lines use no energy. How many nuclear power plants could be shut down if we all stopped using clothes dryers?
 ADVANTAGES OF USING A CLOTHES LINE!
Line drying saves you money. You are actually getting something for free! Conserves energy and the environment Clothes and sheets smell better Clothes last longer (Where do you think lint comes from?) It is an outdoor physical activity Sunlight bleaches and disinfects without adding toxic chemicals Indoor racks can humidify in dry winter weather. In wet weather, dry your clothes on indoor racks! Hang your clothes out carefully and fold neatly saves ironing and time
