Out to Dry

The government of Ontario announced today it’s lifting the province’s clothesline ban. About time, we say! Before you run out and buy one, check out Toronto Hydro’s cool new energy conservation program, Take a Load Off Toronto. Starting April 26, hit one of the city’s participating Wal-Mart, Zellers or Home Depot locations to get your free, indoor/outdoor retractable clothesline courtesy of Toronto Hydro. Just think – if 75,000 people used a clothesline 25% of the time, we’d reduce energy consumption by an estimated 229 kilowatt-hours per year, per home (enough to power almost 2,000 homes). So what are you waiting for? Get hanging!
