Answer 1

If its below freezing outside you don't even need to dry your hair.       As soon as it freezes take a comb and comb out the ice.   It will be almost dry when you get back to a warmer area.

Answer 2

Stop mowing lawns with powered mowers,, use push mower's and have less grass by other means..this not only use's less gas..less polution and real type mowers cut better and do not dry out the grass like a rotory that only beats the grass off

Answer 7

Wow what mean answers maybe that is because I do live like a tribe in the forest.

I do my laundry in a wrinder washer outside by my clothes line. The wringer uses less power because you can decide how long it washes and also it uses much less water because you keep putting clothes in the same water starting with light going to the dirty clothes last then rince the same way. Then I hang them on the line to aviod using the dyer.

I love doing it this way. I can hear the birds sing and watch the wildflife as I do this chore.
