There's a lot of us Americans who already live like this.
Hanging clothes to dry? I put, maybe, two loads out of ten in the dryer. We have clotheslines strung in the basement and hang wet clothes on plastic hangers at 3" intervals and so long as the furnace or AC is running, the clothes dry pretty quickly.
Opening the oven once the baking is finished - been doing this for years.
In an effort to lose weight, I ditched the junk food and went to natural and potatoes and apples in the bags and it makes a difference all the way around.
Don't belong to a gym, but walk an hour a day and do a non-zen pilates class and spend $60/mo rather than $1,000/year.
It's all doable, you just have to be willing.
Will take under advisement. Thanks.
The one thing I don’t like about air drying is is it makes the clothes all stiff.
For those in states where it's available (we have this in Maryland), our health plan gives a discount on gym membership. I'm paying $30 per month with the discount. There are two yoga/Pilates classes a week, step and spinning and weight-lifting classes available 6 days a week, as well as the machines.
I hang clothes out every opportunity I can. I watch the forecast.
It saves us about $30 -$40 per month.
If someone wants to start doing that. I suggest washing the heavy stuff like jeans and sweatshirts and doing those first. If you have to dry anything in the dryer, you’ll come out further ahead drying the light stuff. It doesn’t take as long.
