4. Dryers use a lot of energy
and it shows on my electric bill.
Line dry whenever possible even though neighbors have made snarky comments in the past (even though it is barely visible from the street)
But it's OK for people to used untested and inadequately tested toxic chemicals in their yard that foul the air for everyone including the babies, kids, elderly and pregnant.

7. Kick
I love line-drying. Things smell great and last longer, and jeans look like they've been ironed.

9. Forget about petitioning... instead assert your independence
by just erecting a clothesline and air-drying your clothes.

If fined for violating local codes, make as much of a stink about it as possible -- and enlist the help of others in your community.
