Why not go all the way.... Clothing production aggrevates global warming, we should all walk around naked

Go Barefoot for Gaia

In the following BBC clip, lifted from today’s ephemera, the sculptor and artistic luminary Antony Gormley shares his wisdom on matters ecological. “Dispense with your socks,” says he. “This is a time of global warming. Through our feet we can begin to feel it.” This is no doubt because “our feet connect with our brains” and “engage with time.” And what’s more, “through our feet we can begin to be one people, standing through gravity on one Earth.” Yes, standing through gravity, united in our socklessness. Go barefoot for Gaia, people. It’s “an act of solidarity.”

Careful, dear readers. That’s the white heat of insight. It burns mortal flesh.

I always loved the animal rights activists who spray painted fur coats while themselves wearing leather jackets, purses, shoes. Or the ones who are baseball fans. Leather gloves, cowhide balls, leather shoes.
