The Solar Clothersdryer!
green | June 28th, 2009 - 12:16 PMA solar clothes dryer, better known as a clothes line, generates no greenhouse gases.
Every load of wet clothes put into an electric clothes dryer generates more that 3 kilograms of greenhouse gas from the energy used. Next to the refrigerator, the clothes dryer is the top energy-using appliance in the house. It cost about $100 a year to run it. Drying all your clothes naturally will save over 200 kilograms of greenhouse gas emissions.Instead of using your energy-guzzling clothes dryer, choose the natural solution whenever you can. For those times when you must use a dryer, make sure your washing machine’s spin cycle removes as much excess water as possible and clean lint filter for efficiency.
