I’ll admit, I’m not the most Earth-friendly girl that ever lived. I make way too much trash, I use beauty products containing who-knows-what kind of chemicals, and I often drive when I should be walking. Still, when I find ways to change my life that are both beneficial to the planet and my lifestyle, I try to take them.

After a recent visit to my grandmother’s house, I’ve been seriously considering a rotary clothesline. In case you’re not sure what that is, refer to the picture below. I helped my grandma take in her towels this weekend and they smelled amazing. Not only did she not pay to run her dryer, but her towels ended up smelling like fresh air - and not the perfume-y, manufactured fresh air that I get with my dryer sheets.

You can get them at this link, and the three-arm models start at $132. Four arm models are a little more, but if you do a lot of laundry, it’s probably worth it.

I’m not saying I’ll be hanging my thongs out to dry any time soon, but I think I could definitely use a rotary clothesline to save money in electricity and dryer wear and tear, plus I’ll be getting ultra-fresh clothing that’s just a little bit better for the environment.
