Greenest Gadgets Part Three

This green gadget was submitted to the Greener Gadgets Design Competition of 2009 by Rob Podell of America.

Green design is great in that it is applied to a new function as often as it can give life to an old function, like drying clothes. The timeless process of drying clothes can be achieved with sustainable materials and a space saving design, which in addition to the energy savings of not using a drying machine, makes this household chore a truly green enterprise.

The clothing drying rack is made of sustainable bamboo, is hypo-allergenic, and is even designed to lay flat, thereby decreasing energy costs for shipping the product. The design of the drying rack is beautiful and provides a very functional feature. Also, you save a lot of money by not running a dryer. Traditional drying machines expend a lot of electricity and heat operating, in fact clothes washing accounts for approximately 20% of all residential energy usage. This percentage is shockingly high, which underscores the importance of this green gadget.
