Officially more than 60 million Americans are prohibited from hanging their laundry outside, in their own yards or balconies and porches. The 2 minute clip below is a poignant introduction to what served the interest of the electricity industry (with former President Regan and Nancy as their spokespeople!) and those selling dryers.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/36605168\">https:\/\/vimeo.com\/36605168<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_5086-e1464024950300.jpg?resize=469%2C352&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_5086\" width=\"469\" height=\"352\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Hurrah for sustainability movements\u00a0that fight these bans with clever digging out of laws that can be used against them. As of 2012 they voided the ban (or made it unenforceable) in 19 states (including Oregon) by referral to\u00a0solar access laws. Many of these are from the 1970s and hidden clauses in state property laws.\u00a0A 1979 Oregon Law, for example, says any restrictions on \u201csolar radiation as a source for heating, cooling or electrical energy\u201d are \u201cvoid and unenforceable.\u201d\u00a0Clotheslines appear to fit under the umbrella of Oregon\u2019s and other states\u2019 solar rights because systems for hang-drying rely on the sun\u2019s radiation to evaporate water in wet laundry. Given how much electricity and money you save, prolonging the lifetime of your clothing and eliminating pollution, it seems insane not to allow outside drying. (However, my clothesline does not look as arranged as this one&#8230;.)<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-494\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_5097.jpg?resize=447%2C335&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_5097\" width=\"447\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_5097.jpg?w=4000&amp;ssl=1 4000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_5097.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_5097.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_5097.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_5097.jpg?resize=560%2C420&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_5097.jpg?resize=80%2C60&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_5097.jpg?w=1780&amp;ssl=1 1780w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_5097.jpg?w=2670&amp;ssl=1 2670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 447px) 100vw, 447px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Since my photos were taken in Italy I though it fitting to match them with\u00a0<i>Lavanderas<\/i>, by an Italian painter, Antonio Donghi (1897- 1963), who was part of Italy&#8217;s neoclassical movement in the 1920s and was sometimes compared to Rousseau.\u00a0<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-495\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Unknown-2.jpeg?resize=257%2C403&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Unknown\" width=\"257\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Unknown-2.jpeg?w=179&amp;ssl=1 179w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Unknown-2.jpeg?resize=80%2C126&amp;ssl=1 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 257px) 100vw, 257px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I cannot take credit for inventing this slogan &#8211; it is the name of a movement that fights against state laws and community bans on drying your laundry outside.
