		<description>The author of qualityclotheslines.net has written an excellent article. You have made your point and there is not much to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not argue with: The truth always hurts you most when you're trying to protect a lie. Thanks for the info.</description>

		<description>Clothesline I personally feel that can be used, but it will affect the appearance of houses, there may be a lower housing value, but it has certain characteristics and culture, life is always not too mechanical, a little taste was fairly good.</description>

		<description>I am an American. My brother lives in a suburb of the Twin Cities in Minnesota, and his whole city banned clothesline use! I happily live in a rural area where they haven't brought this up yet.</description>

		<description>I'm an architect who works with existing residential houses and gardens in the Los Angeles, CA area. We are experiencing water shortages and higher energy costs which have led many to begin to re-think living patterns. I think people in the US have used dryers for two reasons. First, it is very convenient and affordable, giving people more flexibility in their busy schedules. Second, and less important, it is seen as a "a step up" from having to hang out clothes and that visual image has not been desirable element in urban areas. I don't think energy use has had much to do with it for the past 30 years. except maybe to select gas instead of electricity as an energy source. 

In the last few years, I think all over the world people are evaluating their lifestyles and considering alternatives that are, for lack of a better term, "greener". I don't think Americans will be giving up their dryers any time soon, but the appliances will be much more efficient and more expensive to use. Urban power grids are maxed out and cities are looking for ways to reduce the load. Utilities currently give homeowners free fluorescent light bulbs and rebates on more efficient appliances.  I do think that adding clotheslines back into the garden design makes a lot of sense, but needs to be done in a practical and visually pleasing way that integrates it into a more  sustainable landscape. Maybe there will be  a rebate for installing a clothes line?  I have been experimenting with shade and trellis designs in my projects that also can function as clothes lines, but it is tricky to do make it all work together. I think people will begin to put them back in their gardens, but maybe in a different way than the 1950's. 

We live in interesting times!</description>

		<description>Global warming is not only altering wildlife habitat and changing the face of our planet, but it also poses a significant threat to human health and security. The rapid depletion of rain forests to meet the ever-increasing demand for forest products is just one example of how humans are irreversibly altering the Earth’s ecosystems.</description>

 I put it in $$ amounts since that tends to motivate people more. I don't think it will save the world but could make a difference.</description>

		<description>As a middle class American who has lived in several states, I would not move into a neighborhood that would ban use of a clothesline.  Even in areas of smog, clothes washed in soap smell wonderful! White cotton stays SO white dried in sunlight! I only use a dryer in the winter or in a hurry (rarely). When we talk about everyone doing their own small part to reduce energy use, it's flat out crazy to not use passive energy to dry clothing! I advocate the return of backyard clotheslines and home gardens into greater popularity. If the upwardly mobile make it popular and trendy, others will follow and perhaps the trend will become common sense!</description>
