Today we are all constantly reminded of the threat of global warming. Pictures of melting ice caps and early flowering with the seasons arriving up to one month early. There are reported difficulties for birds because the fish stocks have not arrived at their annual feeding time.
We are asked to make a contribution to offset the effect of our carbon footprint from cutting car journeys or holiday flights through tree planting or simply turning down the thermostat.
One of the simplest ways to contribute is by installing and using a laundry airer.
By choosing to dry your clothes using natural air drying, you choose not to use your tumble dryer.
Tumble dryers use large amounts of electricity, production of which can consume large quantities of fossil fuels.
Tumble dryers even sensor models can not tell when individual items are dry - only the whole load so the overall cost is even higher as well as your carbon footprint.
Becoming carbon neutral in our activities should be everyone's goal and the clothes airer is an easy way to make your daily contribution including switching off appliances and turning down your thermostat.
Airers come in many versions so that you can use them in various locations.
In the bath as a floor standing airer or above the bath as a retractable washing line giving up to 69 feet of line space. By choosing a wall mounted airer, which expands, concertina style for use and retracts fully hidden from view when not in use.
By using floor, wall and washing line airers together you could fully replace the tumble dryer. Or by utilising wall space to mount several wall mounted airers you could achieve a similar capacity.
Especially where existing heating radiators are used to heat the house you can achieve a permanent natural airer dryer system using secondary heat and no direct energy.
If every householder or flat dweller installed energy free airers just how much carbon offset we could achieve together by taking some simple steps to nurture our planet.
