Solving Climate Change: One Dryer at a Time

Of all the flats we saw in Budapest, and we saw many, many, none of them have a dryer. All the flats came equipped with washers. But, according to an American owner, in Europe it is hard to convince people to use dryers. Instead, people choose to line dry their washings. It is standard to use a drying rack.

Imagine if 95% of the people in the U.S. stopped using their dryers and decided to line dry. The amount of energy we'd save would be obscene.

  1. Plus nothing beats the smell of fresh, sun-dried laundry. You can't bottle that :)
