Oh my yes. Yes indeed. I am all for it. The greatest invention since the word GREEN.
I'm seriously reconsidering my use of the dryer. I am perusing the yard, long and hard. I'm looking for two likely trees, because it's green all the way for me. No trashy Clothesline Stands for me, baby.
Then I am going to go to...where is it they sell clotheslines...Home Depot? This seems a good enough place to start, especially as I have such a fun working relationship with Home Despot...I mean Depot--
I'm going to get in my horse drawn carriage, the most ecological carriage out there, natch, and of course I feed my horses nothing but the finest...er...organic oats and hay...and of course my horses are the plain ole easy upkeep model. No high strung purebreds for me, no sir. I have the the most energy efficient horses out there.
And I'm going to buy me a brand new clothesline. And I'm going to buy multitudes of multicolored clothespins, yessir, and then I am going to start hanging my laundry out to dry--
Real laundry, to all you neophytes who might be thinking I'm referring to gossip.
We live in serious times. And serious times call for serious measures, and hanging ones laundry out to dry (no matter where you live, just in case you think you can get away with continuing to use that blood sucking dryer of yours, just because you live in 15 square feet in the middle of downtown LA and not out in the wild and windy countryside somewhere) is a good place to start showing your commitment to keeping this great world of ours in one happy piece.
I read in the paper this morning about this clothesline movement starting to happen...why all over the place. There are of course those diehards who don't like the look of clothes drying out where the whole neighborhood gets to laugh and snicker at what everyone's underwear looks like. But this problem is just a tiny cog. What with designers and all, I'm sure multitudes of tasteful styles of clothes hanging will soon appear.
And people will also begin to simply look the other way, especially after they've had a hard look at the state of their own underwear.
Because, if nothing else, while we are all doing our part in going Green, for the sake of our children's children's children's children's, we are also exploring a return to simpler, kinder ways, when life was gentle and good, and picking up after the horses made picking up after the dog seem like child's play.
