NY Times :: On college campuses, in subdivisions, hotels and even prisons, efforts to transform the way Americans do their laundry are steadily building. Save energy, save money: what’s not to like? It turns out that it takes persistence and research.
Should Americans have the right to hang their laundry outdoors, even if many of their neighbors oppose it and community rules ban clotheslines as unsightly threats to property values? Legislators in Colorado, Hawaii, Maine and Vermont have prohibited anti-clothesline rules, and similar action is being considered in several other states. (Catch up with the issue on The Times’s Green Inc.) How do college students do their laundry, without hanging a lot of clothes in the quad? How do hotels get their guests to reuse their towels? And how do prisons balance their sanitation and security needs yet reduce laundry costs?
