String 'Em Up

I don't like my clothes to shrink, so when we lived in the city, my house was big enough to hang our shirts in the laundry room to dry. Here, not so much. I hang our clothes out to dry year around. It's much more efficient in the summer of course, when it is hot, it doesn't take a shirt all day to dry, but it also gives a nice summer day freshness to our clothes.
According to The Green Year, dryers account for 6 percent of all energy consumption. If your Home Owner's Association doesn't allow you to hang clothes out on a line, try to at least combine loads - and do your laundry all at once while the dryer is still hot.
Also, you will save money by not using the dryer so much.
