National Hanging Out Day

Project Laundry List collaborates with hundreds of other groups to promote National Hanging Out Day each year on April 19th. This day is a day for learning about the benefits, both financially and environmentally, of using a clothesline for drying laundry. According to Project Laundry Lists' website, clothes dryers account for an astounding six to ten percent of residential energy use. All these other benefits are included in hanging your clothes out to dry.
