I was invited to a special eco friendly dinner recently.
The meal was cooked on an open fire stove with fish caught on a local river grilled on the fire.
Tomatoes and rice were fried together with an onion and herbs.
We discussed eco friendly gifts to give.
The clothes airer was voted the number one gift to be remembered by.
Each time you give a gift of a clothes airer you give carbon reduction.
No need to plant trees (although this is helpful) or buy carbon credits.
Just give a gift of a clothes airer.
Your friend or relative will save money save energy and reduce their carbon footprint.
Today we lead busy lives and the temptation is to send a gift voucher, too lazy to think about what the person would like or not enough time to shop.
The clothes airer is ideal for busy mums, flat dwellers, university or college hall of residence, the blind, aged and infirm, those who are housebound or living in dark insecure places.
Each wall mounted clothes airer comes complete with wall fixings and a template on the box.
This is easy to use and the airer can be installed and in use within minutes.
A wheelchair can be wheeled up to the airer at waist height.
Because it is installed in one fixed place it is ideal for the blind who can easily hang clothes and later detect if they are dry without getting their hands burned on a radiator.
Clothes airers help to respect your privacy.
They eliminate those embarrassing moments when someone calls unexpectedly.
Most radiators are strewn with drying underwear and socks.
These are all placed on the airer and can be simply covered with a sheet or left in the kitchen area.
A concertina style airer can be semi closed to make it less obtrusive.
Today energy costs are rising and even solar power is becoming more popular, we are all looking for ways to reduce our costs and contribute to the future of the planet through conservation.
The clothes airer gives us a simple natural way to do this.
Given as gift you and it will always be remembered.
