On your way to carbon neutral, how about unplugging your dryer?Here's what Green America has to say about solar drying Fire Your Clothes DryerMake this the year you reduce your energy use (and your utility bill) by air-drying your clothes as often as possible. The news is in: Many of America’s clothes dryers may soon be getting a pink slip. One in every three Americans sees the clothes dryer as an unnecessary extravagance. Every few years, the Pew Research Center asks about 1,000 Americans what they think about various appliances. Three years ago, 83 percent of respondents said a clothes dryer was a “necessity.” Since then, something striking has happened—the people that Pew surveys have begun to think differently about energy- intensive appliances: the percentage of respondents who describe a clothes dryer as a “luxury” has more than doubled in just three years to 33 percent. About a third of Americans have figured out that it takes a huge commitment of energy to run a dryer—all to do something that our great-grandparents knew that the air, given a little more time, could do for free. In many other countries, this wisdom is more widely shared, and drying clothes on a line or a rack is the norm. Whereas 75 percent of households in the US own a clothes dryer, for example, only about half of households in Europe own one, according to the Netherlands Statistical Office. If you haven’t already, join the trend and make this the summer that you reduce your clothes dryer use and return to old-fashioned, free techniques for drying laundry. You can air-dry clothes no matter where you live, and this green step will cut your energy bill, reduce your carbon footprint, and preserve your favorite clothing longer.

MENDENHALL GLACIERThe picture at the top right is beautiful Mendenhall Glacier near Juneau, Alaska. Since the visitor center was built in the 1960s, the glacier now begins more than a mile from where it began then. It is only one of the many glaciers throughout the earth that is melting at accelerated rates because of global warming, created at least in part by human impact on the climate.
