It is finally cooling down but that heat we had sure helped my clothes dry fast! I always line dry my clothes. The clothes drier only to second to refrigerator in most use of energy usage and it is super easy to cut back on! I used to line dry my clothes outside but the sun can bleach clothes, so now I just hang my clothes up in my laundry room and air dry there. My laundry room is the garage so during the summer is it nice and toasty and the clothes dry super fast. Another good way to save energy is to wash your clothes cold, which I always do "Hot water heating accounts for about 90 percent of the energy your machine uses to wash clothes — only 10 percent goes to electricity used by the washer motor." Just doing little the things can make a big difference in your personal energy usage =) Keep it Green.

You are giving so many good tips! If we ever had some warm days, I would totally try this one out! lol
I do it this all the time, even on not warm days =)
You just hang them on hangers? I need something to hang them on by my washer and dryer.
I always use cold water too. I need to air dry more often though. What detergent is that there?
yes Mandi I just put them on hangers and or I drape them over the pole like casey's shorts in that picture. or here's some drying racks: http://www.containerstore.com/browse/index.jhtml?CATID=77008&howMany=999&viewAll=true
Go Erynn using the cold water! That laundry detergent is just the trader joes brand stuff.
