That is so lame….ban on drying clothes outdoors.I live in Nepal, where 99.99% of us dry our clothes outdoors, the natural scent is much mch better than the ones that come out from the dryers. No wonder our carbon footprint is the lowest in the world.

SUPERB idea!! Back to where we were in the 60′s..love the idea, cheers from Western Canada!

Good on em … nice to see that someone is taking the action. We talk about green alternatives and yet some of the simplest options are control through governments and alike … doesn’t cost to throw up a line and start a new way of thinking.

I believe we should have the choice … after all, do we not live in a free country?

Thank goodness! As a Canadian now temporarily residing in New Zealand, I felt like a urban idiot when I first arrived. Here clotheslines are the norm. One might use a dryer (if they had one) only if it was too wet/cold or one was in a hurry. I am now hanging our family’s clothes up regularly, and loving this small domestic, eco-friendly routine (and the fresh smell). Even my husband who at first complained about the “crunchy towels” is now on board. …a concept that is so simple, yet foreign to most Canadians. I’m looking forward to returning to Canada and proudly hanging my “unsightly” clothesline.
…Oh, and people and chickens also happily co-reside in urban areas here too, but that is another topic!
