We would like to give our thanks to Toronto Hydro, Wal-Mart, Zellers, Home Depot, and Costco for handing out free clotheslines. Its now the law, thank you Mr. Premier for amending all the bylaws that forbade Homeowner’s the use of clotheslines in varying municipalities in Ontario.
If everyone uses a clothesline, there will be so much less energy wasted. The energy of the wind and sun is a more natural way to dry our clothes. If you have a clothesline, use it! save the Environment and dollars as the same time.
Who cares if your underwear blow’s in the wind for everyone to see? you are saving a lot of money and doing your part for the earth. With the money saved you may attend a movie with the kids, a nice meal out or just put it away for a rainy day!
