Clothesline Stroll

Pick up a clothespin,
Tuck your corner down,
Pin it on the line,
And turn yourself around
That’s how you do it
Ain’t nothin to it.
Doin’ the clothesline stroll.
Pick up a clothespin
Slide on down the line
Grab the other corner
And pin it on the line
That’s how you do it,
Ain’t nothin to it.
Doin’ the clothesline stroll.
Dry-line in the sunshine gets your body moving
Sunlight on your laundry makes your clothes smell groovy
Turn off the dryer – it’s the natural way.
Your clothes last longer
Blowin in the breeze
No chemicals needed
And they won’t make you sneeze
That’s how you do it
Ain’t nothin to it
Doin’ the clothesline stroll.
Hang out a dry line
The world’s a better place
Mountaintops grow trees
Instead of empty space
That’s how you do it
Ain’t nothin to it
Doin’ the clothesline stroll.
Dry-line in the sunshine gets your body moving
Sunlight on your laundry makes your clothes smell groovy
Turn off the dryer – it’s the natural way.

9) Clothes last longer
Where do you think lint comes from?

7) Saves Energy, Preserves Environment, Reduces Pollution
Conserve energy and the environment, while reducing climate change. Learn how!
6) Healthy Work

Sunlight bleaches and disinfects.
4) Replace another appliance
Indoor racks can humidify in dry winter weather.
3) Avoid a Fire
Clothes dryer and washing machine fires account for about 17,700 structure fires, 15 deaths, and 360 injuries annually. The yearly national fire loss for clothes dryer fires in structures is estimated at $194 million. See a diagram of the critical danger zones of the dryer.
2) It is fun!
And can be an outdoor experience that is meditative and community-building. It may also help you avoid depression.
1) It is truly patriotic
