Apparently clotheslines are "in" in Ontario. Or so says David Suzuki, anyhow. While that may be true, this is one trend I simply cannot get behind.
During the summer months, I live in a neighbourhood where flying a clothesline runs contrary to local by-laws. The rest of the year (ignoring the fact that a clothesline is unusable during the winter), I wouldn't trust my clothes not to get stolen.
While Dan would likely point out that I seem to hang the majority of my clothes in my bedroom to try, rather than use the dryer, I don't do it out of any environmental well-wishing. It's hard enough to find clothes that fit my lanky frame in the first place - adding in the shrinkage caused by dryers is one more headache (and a lot of slightly-too-small clothes) more than I need.
Any environmentalism on my part is done for purely convenient (or selfish) reasons.
