As a result, they are turni

34、ng to clotheslines as part of the “what-I can do environmentalism(环境保护主义).”On the other side are people who are against drying clothes outside, arguing that clotheslines are unpleasant to look at. They have persuaded Homeowners Associations (HOAs) access the U.S. to ban outdoor clotheslines, because

35、 clothesline drying also tends to lower home value in the neighborhood.
