Washing Airer - A Simple Step To Reducing Your Carbon Footprint

Today we are all constantly reminded of the threat of global warming. Pictures of melting ice caps and early flowering with the seasons arriving up to one month early. There are reported difficulties for birds because the fish stocks have not arrived at their annual feeding time.

We are asked to make a contribution to offset the effect of our carbon footprint from cutting car journeys or holiday flights through tree planting or simply turning down the thermostat.

One of the simplest ways to contribute is by installing and using a laundry airer.

Washing Lines - Why Scotland Loves Them

The canny Scot is an international image, which has been carried to all corners of the globe by Scots emigrants who left their nature land for foreign shores, adventure and to seek their fortune.

Doing the washing has never been a favourite chore and the history books give little mention as to the habits of William Wallace or Robert the Bruce except they seemed famed for fighting battles. In fact nothing in our Scottish history books refers to the washing lines that came to be a feature of every back garden throughout the land.
