Clothesline Pioneer, Anna Thorne-Holst
Anna Throne-Holst, a Southampton, NY Council member, will soon be leaving her gargantuan clothesline that she worked so hard to make legal this past June, as she downsizes to a smaller house, according to the NY Times.
Anti-clothesline legislation was already in place when Throne-Horst came on board the town council. The motivation was aesthetics, a real shame, considering that hanging your clothes out to dry is an excellent way to save energy and reduce your carbon footprint. But Thorne-Hurst fought the ban, and won.
