When I was in high school my family lived in a housing development that was designed to be somewhat environmentally friendly -- houses were small, the development was largely open prairies, people did not have lawns, etc. Of course, someone decided to line-dry their clothes, and the HOA told them to stop. I guess the environment is all fine and nice until you have to see someone's underwear in their backyard. (I believe that the people told to stop made a big stink about it and had the rules changed. So common sense did prevail. But no doubt plenty of people are producing CO2 to dry their clothes right now because someone thinks that drying clothes outdoors reduces their property value.)
