Impressive, isn&#8217;t it? According to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.classiccotton.org\/2017\/07\/11\/are-your-clothes-violent-against-nature\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">classiccotton.org<\/a>\u00a03\/4 of all produced clothes end up on landfills. Now that is scary.<\/p>\n<h2>Naturism, a.k.a. common sense.<\/h2>\n<p>After these figures it&#8217;s even more evident that people who prefer nudity are on the smart side of the scale. I hope that all the clothes we don&#8217;t buy make a difference. Less water wasted, fewer chemicals all over the place, and less garbage and waste.<\/p>\n<p>Of course there will always be garbage, but I almost fell out of my chair when I read how much junk is created by the manufacturing of clothes. But&#8230; did you see the number of chemicals used? Up to eight thousand! And that is used on stuff everyone happily puts on their skin. I&#8217;m convinced most of that stuff will be washed out with 20,000 litres (that is almost 5,200 gallons, for non-litre people) of water per kilo \/ 2 lbs. but still. All that stuff has to go somewhere. Do you trust the fashion industry enough to make sure that any remaining chemical is caught and discarded in a responsible manner? I wouldn&#8217;t put my money on that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3593 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Selection_670.jpg\" alt=\"dirty secrets\" width=\"166\" height=\"168\" \/>After digging into all this matter I am even more inclined not to wear clothes as much as I can. We hear about pollution and such every day, but the fashion industry is a market that goes on doing that without anyone batting an eye at it.
