Project Laundry List is a
non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization which aims to demonstrate that
personal choices can make a difference for the Earth and its people.
Our focus is on North America's
over-dependence on nuclear power and other unsustainable forms of
energy.

Helen Caldicott
Member, Board of Advisors
Project Laundry List began in
1995 when Dr. Caldicott gave a speech at Middlebury College
peace symposium and said, "If we all did things like hang out our clothes, we
could shut down the nuclear industry." Learn more about our
Board of
Advisors and our
Board of Directors. |
Art, advocacy, and education are the
tools we use. Hosting and planning design competitions, symposia,
and art shows; advocating for the "Right to Dry" and appliance
standards; and distributing materials are just some of our
activities and programs. An impressive
board of directors and
world-renowned
panel of advisors are allowing us
to grow and prosper.

Member, Board of Advisors
 When
The End of Nature
appeared in 1989, global warming became a household term. Since
that time, McKibben has published numerous books. He now teaches at Middlebury College,
where he is a Scholar-in-Residence. |
We develop simple solutions to complex
problems. We draw our strength from an involved group of volunteers.
While many campaigns attempt to educate and mobilize individuals for
far away activities, Project Laundry List offers a positive way for
people to become involved right in their own homes and backyards.
We are changing the world through
clotheslines–one household at a time.

Principles
-
It is not enough to define a problem
and offer no solutions.
-
Our consumption patterns create the
demand for electricity.
-
The generation of nuclear power is
an inefficient energy source producing an abundance of hazardous
waste of which we cannot safely dispose.
-
 Raising awareness of existing
alternatives to nuclear power and large hydroelectric projects
will help people and corporations to make appropriate
technological choices.
-
Nobody should have to live, work, or
play near a nuclear facility.
-
No culture or
community should be destroyed by a
hydroelectric facility or any other monolithic corporate project.
-
The sun is the most powerful nuclear
reactor and can serve many purposes—none of which should be
ignored.
-
All citizens nation-wide should have
the legal right to hang out their laundry.
-
North Americans, as all people, must
lead by example.
-
Frugality, or thrift, needs to be a
universally practiced virtue.
