Being Woke Stinks: NYT Says Americans Should Take Fewer Showers for Environment

The New York Times recently argued that abandoning the bathtub and ditching social hygiene can save the planet. Unfortunately, that’s no joke.

The deranged Times story was headlined “See Fewer People. Take Fewer Showers.” Times “breaking news” reporter Maria Cramer propagandized how a preschool administrative assistant named Robin Harper allegedly has only “shower[ed] once a week” since the pandemic.

In Cramer’s estimation, “The new practice felt environmentally virtuous, practical and freeing. And it has stuck.” Cramer cheered how “[t]here are now indications that [showering less] has caused some Americans to become more spartan when it comes to ablutions.” Cramer’s story made as much sense as a 2020 Times op-ed headlined: “Stop Using Toilet Paper.” [Emphasis added.]

We had better give up pooping and peeing because of all the water they use in flushing toilets.  We should stop immigrants coming to this country because of all the water they use over and above what we already use.  We should go back to fig leaves and other "natural" clothes because washing clothes uses so much water.  Hospitals should start catching rain water to avoid giving tap water to patients.  That would give more water for politicians to use because of the noxious stench which permeates the air around them and for which they need tons more water.

How about just the leftists do that. Lead by example.

Nope, just give up flushing toilets.  Quit throwing away fertilizer.

The whacko's will not be happy till the US looks like India.   
1 toilet per 100K people and covid deaths in the millions.  Bodies stacked up like cord wood in the streets.

Bring out yer dead.

I didn't have any "Etchings" either but It never stopped me from asking girls over to see them!

True. No septic going in up in the holler. Three composting heaps. By the time the third one is full, (three years on), the first one is converted to dirt.

I am not sure about the use in the garden - Some say prions and such survive... But feeding it into a manure spreader and throwing it on the fields doesn't bother me at all.

The trick is how to make that whole thing functional without a whole lot of trouble. I am leaning toward a deck over the top, with a moveable outhouse on the deck. Simplest method - no handling at all.

Dunno. still penciling that out.

I would have doubts about want to spend time on that deck.

It really doesn't stink. It is bedded regularly in straw. So only the working pile would be troublesome, and no more so than any outhouse. A vent stack takes care of that. And the removable superstructure puts the working end above the snow.

I have a plan for pass-through pits... take the boards down front and back, and take off the deck (built for it) and you can push it right through with a tractor... So handling will be as easy as it can get.

Not a fan of emptying buckets any more than I have to. I can make the trip to the outhouse - it is something I have done my whole life. But the minute there is a woman involved, an indoor bathroom will needfully apply.

NYT new motto:

Well, it took almost 50 years, but we're back in the 1970's!!!
