LIVING GREEN - Wednesday, March 19, 2008
-----------------------------------------------------------
Good morning,
More laws inadvertently designed to keep people from acting
environmentally responsibly are being reviewed and revised.
Lawmakers in Connecticut and Vermont are pushing legislation
that would allow everyone to hang out their laundry in public.
A similar bill that would overturn local ordinances or rules
set by homeowners' associations failed to make it out of com-
mittee in New Hampshire. Backers of the "right-to-dry" bill
say they will bring it up again in the next session.

While clothes lines have tended to be associated with urban
tenements or rural poverty patches, advocates say that outdoor
drying instead of using an electric dryer is environmentally
friendly. Many people also like the fresh smell.
"People think it's silly, but what's silly is to worry so much
about having to look at your neighbors' undies that you would
prevent them from conserving energy," said Vermont state Sen.
Dick McCormack, a sponsor of that state's law. "We're not
making a big deal over clotheslines; we're making a big deal
over global warming."
