Week 41 #OptOutside #OptToAct

September
❎ Week 41: Skip the dryer. Hang dry your laundry this week.
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates it takes about 5 percent of your home energy use to dry clothing. Even with energy-efficient dryers, this is still quite the load. Drying your clothing in a machine also wears down the fibers, making their life cycle shorter. To prolong the life of your clothing and your pocketbook, consider hang drying your items. If time is an issue, you can run your dryer for half of the time, and then hang dry the remainder.
