Happy National Hanging Out Day! Each year on April 19, Project Laundry List works with hundreds of other organizations to sponsor today.
This day encourages communities to learn 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 astonishing six to ten percent of residential energy consumption.
Hanging your clothes out has several benefits:
- • Good for the environment.
- • Saves you money
- • Is therapeutic because being outdoors in the fresh air has benefits to your health
- • Clothes dried on a clothesline have a natural freshness
- • Encourages us to slow down
HOW TO OBSERVE
Have you ever hung your clothes out to dry? Some people even consider sleeping in sun-dried sheets a luxury. Reap the benefits of hanging out. Spend the day hanging a new clothesline and conserving energy.
Afterwards, celebrate the day by hanging out your clothes to dry and sharing your pictures on social media using #NationalHangingOutDay.
While you’re waiting for the clothes to dry, download and print the National Hanging Out Day color page.
