When my son married an american and brought her here to live in Australia some 13 years ago, she was surprised at the washing lines in everyones back yards. She commented that only poor people in america use a clothes line, everyone else dries their clothes in a dryer!! It didn't take her long to realise that drying clothes on the line versus using a clothes dryer meant a difference of some few hundred dollars a year in power costs!! There is definitely nothing nicer than bringing in beautiful smelling washing that has been out in sunlight. Not only that but as someone else commented, the sunlight can destroy germs too!!

However, it only took a few hours to make your clothes dry after the spin. Plus the sun will make your clothes more clean from germ. That clearly a benefit for us! I really agree with those campaign.
