The average household could save about $200 a year using a clothesline (or drying rack) instead of an electric dryer while reducing its carbon footprint by a whopping 2,400 pounds. If all Americans line-dried for just six months, it would save 3.3% of our total residential CO2 output. I love that I can turn my humidifier off when using my rickety old drying rack.
