Also people who live in units/apartments feel as if there is no place for them to dry when a fold up line takes up less space in a small place than a dryer.
I disagree. There is no place.
I really don't like hurting myself every time I have to go downstairs and navigate my way through the washing. Plus every so often having to wear damp clothes because the weather sucks and they havent dried [the dryer here is busted]

That said, I still liked the page

Get a retractable clothes line for above your bathtub or an out of the way place. Balcony etc.

Dryers ruin your clothes anyway, where do you think lint comes from - used to be your clothes.

The sun is also a natural disinfectant and when you use a dryer you're encouraging spores grow.

Also, if you dry your clothes inside during the winter, they act as a humidifier so you won't get gross skin.

Also, if you have to use your dryer, make sure you line dry first until the clothes are just damp and stick it in there for a few minutes. as opposed to about the 40 minutes it takes for machine spun clothes.

Well then I guess you can are one of the few I will allow to use their dryer. But here are some handy hints to save on your bill and the environment!

* use correct temperature settings to minimise the amount of electricity consumed Clean the lint filter regularly to improve the dryer's energy efficiency
* don't overload your dryer – it takes longer to dry your clothes and uses more power
* use residual heat – if you've got several loads, dry them one after the other
* use your washer's spin cycle to make sure clothes aren't soaking wet when you put them in the dryer
* clean the lint filter on the dryer after every load to maximise drying efficiency, maintain full airflow, and minimise fire risk
* create airflow in the laundry by opening doors and windows to prevent humidity forming which slows down drying time
* don't mix heavyweight and lightweight articles in the same load
* share the load, finish drying or partly hang the items outdoors or in the sun
