At Davos, the WEF now promotes less clothes-washing to save the planet

 by Monica Showalter

What is it about the greenie jet-setters of World Economic Forum flying in on a plume of carbon compounds, and their urge to make life just a little more solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short for the little guys they claim to know what's best for?

Not too long ago, the "you will own nothing and you will be happy" guys were promoting the eating of bugs to save the planet -- recall that a French company called Innovafeed that was promoted at one of these WEF gatherings that got a lot of attention from the Washington Post as a bright new wave-of-the-future idea.

Now they'd like us to wash our clothes less often:

See, 70% of CO2 emissions coming from a cotton tshirt come from washing and drying it. Bad tshirts, stop them! And washing clothes puts microfibers into the water system! (Let's see their video on birth control into the water system, which is actually believed to be giving young men high-pitched voices.) Worse still, washing clothes wears them out, and creating a lot of 'clothing waste.' Maybe they should try recycling.

They want jeans washed just once a month, with no adjustments suggested for the condition they are in. Pajamas get once a week, jumpers, or sweaters, get once every six weeks, again, with no concessions about how dirty they are. They do make a concession on worn underwear and stinky gym clothes. 

But can you imagine having to deal with kids' clothes washed on that schedule? Kids love dirt, they're drawn to dirt, they demonstrate it every time they go out to play, and it's not just the boys. 

By these greenie standards, drug-addicted street bums would be the most eco-friendly people on the planet.

The BBC reports that there are leftists who have already joined something called "the no-wash movement' to save the planet. I wrote about them here, citing their bid to create a Pig-Pen Nation.

Now the horrid idea has exited the dumpsters and made a home for itself at the WEF for promotion outward.

It's all part of the leftist urge to make life as wretched as possible for the well-fed average joes of the West.

As I wrote here, they really like this stuff and they're on a tear:

What a sick world this is. Greens have unsuccessfully tried to sell us on all sorts of repulsive things to put into our bodies -- from various versions of soylent green, to "stewmaking" burials, to human compost burials, to recycling urine into drinking water to save the earth, to eating bugs. It's one disgusting thing after another, which these days even includes attempting to coax people into taking public transit. Not too long ago, a Utah official tried to encourage people to eat wild toads to save the environment. Utah teachers were also recently caught teaching CRT in schools behind the kids' parents' backs.

... and ...

It wasn't enough that the greenie left came for our light bulbs, our flush toilets, our guns, our plastic straws, our gas stoves, or our hamburgers.

Now they're coming for our coffee.

Another greenie favorite is going without air conditioning. The New York Times was promoting that last year. I wrote about it here.

Now they want crusty, dirty, smell-it-a-mile-away clothing, all made worse by the greenie practice of going without air conditioning.

This is disgusting, and the WEF is all part of its promotion. Whatever their next bright idea is, and there will be a new one, you can bet it will be disgusting. All to get them back into grass skirts and mud huts.
