Luyu----Debate Follows Bills to remove Clotheslines Bans

Clotheslines Bans should remove or not? Now became a controversial issue talking in the America.

Some people agree to revoke clotheslines bans, because nowadays the global warming becoming more and more serious, dry the laundry outside can save a lot of energy, which can save at least 6 per cent of all household electricity consumption. Sounds economic! So, should not be prohibited by their neighbors or local community. We should act in an environmentally minded way in order to make out life much better. As we can see, most of the proponents are environmental concerners! But, unfortunately, there are a lot of kids who don’t even know what a clothespin is? Which make a stark comparison!

However, people think clotheslines should be prohibited also makes a lot of sense. Like some residents treat it as an eyesore——a marker of poverty that lowers property values. Indeed, many people do not interesting to see others laundry blowing in the breeze, they are much prefer to enjoy birds, trees and flowers when look out the window. For many older folks, they thought dry laundry outdoors is synonymous with being too poor to afford a dryer. And the reality is, because the laundry hanging out, the house went into foreclosure.

In my opinion, I think drying clothes itself is a mundane thing. In the nature way or in the electronic way both are okay. It is just personal preference. Have not necessary to unify, which is worthy not much meaning. The problem related to individual rights, private property, class, aesthetics, the environment… It just makes a simply thing too complex! My advice is, High-tech is a good way to make out life more convenience. But, if we are not urgent, if possible, if it can make our environment better and better, we should better use the environmentally way to dry out laundry. Because a good environment much important than any other things.
