I came across an interesting article.... Beregere Couillard, from the French Government and director of a large clothing group is saying that the clothing industry account for about 1/4 of greenhouse emmissions! And that the industry is the most wasteful of all!
Being an insider, she should know what she is talking about, isn't it?
While her solution will be to pay people to fix/alter old clothes...yes, yes, you read right..the French government is planning to use French tax payer $ to finance that scheme!...isn't that cute? Although, I still don't know how it will all work....
Do you think, thanks to Berengere Couillard, Macron, will declare public nudity legal in France?!....that would help curve the wasteful habit of buying and wasting clothes! And provide a strong help in curving global warming
Now I personnally like the idea of public nudity to help save our planet...temperatures are rising, so why not doing our bits to help ourselves and save the world.
I m all in...we should petition the Oz government to do the same here?...the weather being ...more suitable in OZ...this legalisation could be adopted and implimented very quickly, showing the world Aussies are taking global warming seriously and are whilling to take their clothes off to save the world!
Let's get naked my friends!(and others)

BrianJul 14, 2023It's not just the making of clothes, it's everything that goes with it, clothes have to be washed using water and energy and discharging detergents into the environment, it would save so much more energy than just from the clothing industry, and reduce water pollution,

Absolutely. I agree.

Tom DJul 14, 2023There was a French TV show some time ago called Nu which was about a futuristic world where most clothing was banned as a security precaution.
Perhaps protecting the environment could be another justification for doing so.ReactReply - MA
MarcusJul 14, 2023May be we should go into fashion industry and we design new clothes which are just air... pretty avantgarde and very haute couture. LOL

True, but some other countries might.

For that matter we had neighbors who had immigrated from Poland and he said that nude swimming was relatively common there and he never wore more than a swim brief for swimming until he moved to the US. Conservative politics do not always imply Conservative dress standards.

You are probably right...anyway the French gov, is not considering such move, I was bored on my night shift so I thought I ll keep myself busy & amused...
But...having said so...there is a string argument there that could be used by our Australian naturism all mighty leaders to get something happening...am I right???!!ReactReply - OOooigorJul 15, 2023[quote]May be we should go into fashion industry and we design new clothes which are just air... pretty avantgarde and very haute couture.

CalidablueMar 9, 2024I was always a shopper and enjoyed buying the fashion, or what a 59 year old man thinks is fashion lol
But I reduced buying new clothes a while back and when I do I buy better quality so it will hopefully last longer.
I/ we shop in vintage stores when possible too.
Or the obvious and wear nothing !
While public nudity will always be limited I imagine it would be nice if some countries ( and people ) relaxed their thinking.ReactReply - TDTom DMar 9, 2024
There was French TV show called Nu set in a future world in which most clothing was banned for security purposes. Perhaps reducing global warming could be another reason for doing that.
