Put your Love on the Line, hang your clothes
BOULDER, Colo. — Honoring Earth, local nonprofit Our Sacred Earth is promoting Love on the Line, a local clothesline initiative encouraging everyone to give the Earth a break by air-drying their clothes. The aim is help slow down climate change by getting more people in Boulder and beyond to let air and/or sun dry their clothes - instead of using fossil fuel gas or coal-run electric dryers.
Love on the Line was inspired by a song written by Stele Ely, Boulder's own Earth Man. You can hear his song, "Love on the Clothesline," at http://xoearth.org/clothesline/
Love on the Line initiative asks people to hang their clothes, take pictures and post photos on Facebook and put their own posters in coin-operated Laundromats, laundry rooms and neighborhoods. Let's enjoy collaborating for the Earth and for us all by taking an easy action that makes a difference.
Letting the sun and wind do the work of a clothes dryer benefits the environment and atmosphere, which is being pushed to overheat by our over-use of fossil fuels. Stele Ely, a "Love On The Line" volunteer says, “Approximately 1.5 square meters of habitat potential is protected or recovered every time a person uses a clothesline or a drying rack - instead of a gas or electric dryer."

To join "Love On The Line" and its mission to slow down climate change, get inspired by www.XOEarth.org/Clothesline or www.Our-Sacred-Earth.org or call 720.340.8080 or just take your clothes out of the dryer stream and put them into the air. You can get kite string from Boulder's IntotheWind.com and clothespins from McGuckin Hardware.
You can hear and sing-along with the "Love On The Line" theme song by Boulder's own XOEarth Man at XOEarth.org/Clothesline
Colorado is one of the states with a "clothesline" law so HOAs cannot prevent homeowners from air drying (in a reasonable way—as with a retractable clothesline). See: The Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act (“CCIOA”), which includes this info: “owners in condominium associations need to first obtain permission from the association, and renters from owners.”
