I came across this blog post the other day and the first thing that came to my mind was that culture really plays an important role in affecting people’s actions and behaviour. In this post, the author talks about the benefits of using clothes lines to dry your clothes instead of using a dryer. I know that in many Asian countries, such as Hong Kong and Macau, most people do not own a dryer and they usually just line dry their clothes on their balconies. It is recommended for Canada to try out this practice of hanging one’s clothes on a clothing line in one’s backyards or under balconies in the summer and early fall. Consequently, this will reduce the consumption of electricity by the dryers.
