This year I am posting about the fun National Weeks throughout the year. This week we are celebrating the relationship with our clothes for International Clothesline Week.
International Clothesline Week is designed to encourage people around the world to dry their clothes naturally by hanging them on a clothesline. Since the sun's power is free, think of the efficiency and cost savings of hanging your clothes out to dry. It's also a great for the environment and your clothes!
A clothesline can be strung between a couple of trees, attached to a fence or they do sell free standing clothes dryers. You can even hang your clothes to dry inside your home.
By hanging your clothes you can extend the life of those garments. The dryer is great to use when you need something in a hurry. But, friction in the dryer and over heating causes a breakdown in the fibers of your garment.
Oh, and don't forget about that fresh scent you get when your sheets were hanging outside to dry!

How to observe the week?
