Save the planet, go naked
June 24th, 2009 . by Number 9I was afraid it would come to this. Now to save the planet, we have to stop doing laundry.
In case you haven’t noticed, the Earth First crowd doesn’t look so good naked.
Al Gore, this is on you. And no, I don’t need to see you or your wife naked.
Going without clothes on beaches and other vacation spots is commonly called naturism — a description that implies helping the planet, as some practitioners claim to be doing.
Spending more time with nothing on stems waste and pollution in all sorts of ways, according to an article by Kathy Blanchard on The Naturist Society’s Web site.
“Living more hours naked each day results in a dramatic drop in my laundry, which in turn reduces my water and energy use (along with my related bills),” Ms. Blanchard wrote. “It also reduces the amount of soap I release, in my case, into the Puget Sound.”
She also advocates naturist holidays — staying close to home wherever possible, to cut down on fuel usage — but sometimes traveling to places where it is possible to leave the car behind and backpack or paddle naked into the wild.
Yeah I don’t have nothing against naked. But some of those hairy underarm chicks, might look better in a burka covering everything.
