Hang It Out to Dry on the Alberto Clothesline

We don't get to say this kind of thing very often, but find it particularly apropos: that is one sexy clothesline/drying rack. As we noted awhile back, 75% of the energy consumption of apparel comes from laundering (rather than production or distribution), so avoiding the dryer and using something like this beauty is a great way to cut that number way, way back, and tends to be a lot easier (and effective) during the warm summer months. It looks like it comes apart for easy transport and storage, too...nice.

I wish someone would come up with a good way to get wet clothes from the laundromat to home. That would help a lot with keeping my clothes out of the dryer. Although this product is nice, it doesn't look particularly stable.
