What gets me about this is that his chosen lifestyle doesn’t really answer the environmental questions. I’m all for living less wasteful existence, but this doesn’t mean we basically have to like medieval peasants.
Measures like this will never get widespread acceptance because people like doing the things he eshews. Furthermore we like decent healthcare, which presumably trangresses his worldview (actually I daresay he’d still ring for an ambulance in an emergency, thereby illustrating his hypocracy) roads, police etc which a modern society brings.
So at best his personal measures are publicity seeking tokenism. If he were really passionate about his cause he should consider more practical savings that might have more widespread appeal.
Everytime I’d go shopping with my grandmother and return home, she’d make me wash my hands. She always said money is the dirtiest thing in the world.
Beaven And Butthead?
"Hey Beaven, watch your cornhole, bud."
Speak for yourself, jello-brain.
For a Bedouin, it makes sense. You live in the desert, there is little water, you are poor and don't have much. But even Bedouins aren't that stupid; when they come to the City, and have money or property, they use the $*&^ing toliet paper.
(Does that call for a rimshot?)
Actually they use water to rinse off their left hand. I guess it was paper that was in short supply back then.
Who wants to be the first to shake Mr. Beaven’s hand?
