“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.”
It's really the little things that matter when the stakes are so high, isn't it? Read the whole story and then remember the days when everyone had a "clothesline" in their backyard, and it wasn't a big deal at all.
