Ontario is among a number of places considering striking down the clothesline bans that have been common in North America, arguing they are environmentally irresponsible. Laws seeking to overturn the bans are pending in Connecticut, Vermont and Colorado.
“If we can’t change simple stuff like this, we’ll never handle the big things we need to do for the planet,” said Aurora’s mayor, Phyllis Morris, who earlier this year petitioned Ontario’s government to declare clothesline bans an illegal “barrier to conservation” under provincial law.
“People say: ‘Oh Phyllis, you want to turn women back into the laundry lady,’ and I say: ‘Wrong. This is about rights. It’s about the environment.’”
The rest.
