Comments on: Canada Says ‘Yes’ to Clotheslines http://ecoscraps.com/2008/04/23/canada-says-yes-to-clotheslines/ A Scrapbook of the Green World Wed, 30 Mar 2011 10:57:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Melanie http://ecoscraps.com/2008/04/23/canada-says-yes-to-clotheslines/comment-page-1/#comment-49908 Melanie Sat, 12 Sep 2009 06:02:20 +0000 http://ecoscraps.com/2008/04/23/canada-says-yes-to-clotheslines/#comment-49908 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!

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? :-) Good on em … nice to see that someone is taking the action.
