To not wear clean clothes everyday

[Happyhippy45]

Clothes are not "dirty," they don't smell and I don't want to wash them. I hang them up on a peg/chair to air and wear another couple of times over the course of the week.
DH doesn't understand this and thinks it's a bit minky.
Talking about tops, jeans etc......not pants and socks. Bras are a whole nother subject.

Its unnecessary to change clothes every day, bar underwear. Yes maybe in the summer when you sweat or if the clothing is physically dirty, but if you are inside most of the day or just popping down the shop or park then no.

I agree it's very bad for the environment to be washing all clothes after one wear. That a lot of washing!

meadows you tumble dry everything? Wow. That is so wasteful. Buy a clothes horse.

I wear bras for about a week

I can't imagine wearing a bra twice let alone for a week. Grim.

I'm another one who washes pretty much everything after one wear. Jeans I'll usually wear twice, PJs too, but that's it.

that is so wasteful. Buy a clothes horse. WHY? Serious question. Why the fuck should I buy a clothes horse? I bought a tumble dryer because I like the way my clothes dry softly in it, why on earth would I buy a clothes horse? Because you think I should????

meadows because doing so much laundry, and tumble drying everything, is very bad for the environment.

Meadows, because of the energy you waste??!

Meadows, because of the energy you waste??!. I don't waste it, I USE it.

meadows because doing so much laundry, and tumble drying everything, is very bad for the environment.. So I should choose not to dry my clothes in the manner I wish, using a perfectly legal machine, just to suit someone else's environmental concerns? Get a grip. I like soft clothes. I went to currys, bought a dryer and pay for electric every month in order to use it as much as I want.

It kind of boils my blood to see people blithely posting stuff like "I only ever wear anything once then I wash it".

That's fine if it's knickers vests/t-shirts or socks but if it's jeans, jumpers, etc. then you are exactly the type of person who is decimating our resources.

Give your head a wobble for gods sake

Give your head a wobble for gods sake hmm. Gives yours a wobble. What's it like being the patron saint of energy saving lol.

Meadows - you do know we are going to have no fossil fuels in a few decades right?

Or have you been studiously ignoring the warnings?

Are you very ill informed?

Oh and be careful not to wast too much energy boiling that blood of yours

Oh dear Meadows.

Poor you - you have no idea do you?

👜

Yes dear.

Whatever you say.

Hope you have your solar panels and wind turbine sorted and arranged.

Poppy!!

Is that a handbag?

At dawn?

Poor you - you have no idea do you. oh i do, I'm not sure exactly what makes you think my choice to dry my clothes in a tumble dryer means I have no idea about energy.

I suppose ignorance is bliss to some folks.
A tumble dryer not only uses resources it costs you money. If you are comfortable burning your money rather than hanging it up to dry then good for you you entitled lazy twat. Ffs.
I can afford to use my tumble dryer. I choose to make a bit of an effort and hang my clothes up to dry instead of burning fossil fuels.

A tumble dryer not only uses resources it costs you money. If you are comfortable burning your money rather than hanging it up to dry then good for you you entitled lazy twat. I'm missing the point where using something that is available to me makes me 'entitled' I bloody pay for it? What's entitled about it? I'm not asking someone else to pay for it? It's a shame you have to resort to name calling, makes you look fresh out of primary school. Bless.

Eh?

I never mentioned your tumble dryer but since you mention it... using a tumble dryer if you have a garden/balcony/clothes horse is ridiculous.

I'm referring to overall waste of energy by washing clothes that are worn once - like jumpers, jeans etc.

So wasteful.

Meadows,
I'm with you, i bloody wash everday and use the dryer.
I work everyday and travel on the underground in london and usually stand up for the 25 minute journey home in a carriage that is over crowded and has no air con.
My clothes go straight in the wash bag and then into the wash sometime that evening.

using a tumble dryer if you have a garden/balcony/clothes horse is ridiculous. why? Please tell me what is ridiculous about it? What is ridiculous about USING something you own?

meadows Entitled to waste energy for your convenience. Like we have an endless supply available.

And yes - tumble dryers use a heck of a lot of energy.

Coal will run out in about 200 years.

Oil in maybe 50 (think that's right?)

So we are left with... hydro power, nuclear energy (no thanks), wind, solar, wave etc.

Meanwhile we have people like Meadows who appear to be very blasé about it all.

Do you have a 4x4 too Meadows?
