According to the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, there are more than 90 million clothes dryers in the United States. On average, clothes dryers are the 3rd most energy-hungry appliance in your home (after the refrigerator and the washing machine).
Air-drying your clothes can reduce the average household’s carbon footprint by an astounding 2,400 pounds a year, and help you save on your electric bill. Think of the impact if we all used our dryers a little less!
Use this beautiful summer weather and reduce your carbon footprint… plus get the benefit of giving your clothes the sun-touched smell only air drying can give them!
