Clotheslines might seem old fashioned, but maybe they're so old that they are making a comeback now. Electric dryers use about 6% of all residential energy, and it is estimated that electric dryers take 30-40 cents per load, which adds up overtime. That's a lot for one appliance. My mom grew up with a clothes line, and recently installed one in our yard. It can hold a lot, and definitely gets the job done. My mom likes it especially because the breeze causes the clothes to come out softer and better smelling than with an electric dryer. If you live in an area with seasons this probably won't work year round, but try it out while its still warm and dry.
