I know Cate wil love this… April 19th is National Hanging Out Day!  According to LaundryList.org, electric dryers use up to 10% of residential energy. So give your dryer (and your laundry!) the day off and hang it outside!

(P.S. If you’re short on space like us, I found this nifty travel clothesline from veteran travel guru Rick Steves for only $8. It attaches with rubber bands, and the braided design means you don’t even need clothespins for lighter items!)
