Jane Fonda to fight climate change by ‘not buying any more clothes’
The Washington Examiner ^ | November 6, 2019 | by Carlin Becker

Actress and activist Jane Fonda has pledged not to buy "any more clothes" in her effort to fight climate change.

Fonda, during her weekly "Fire Drill Friday" climate change protest on Capitol Hill last week, made the declaration that the coat on her back was the last piece of clothing she would ever purchase.

"You see this coat? I needed something red, and so I went out and found this coat on sale. This is the last article of clothing that I'm going to ever buy," she said in footage captured by video journalist Nicholas Ballasy.

Fonda then attributed credit to youth climate activist Greta Thunberg for making her "think a lot about consumerism."

"I grew up when consumerism didn't have such a stranglehold over us, so when I talk to people about how we don't really need to keep shopping, we shouldn't look to shopping for our identity, we just don't need more stuff, then I have to walk the talk," she said. "So I'm not buying any more clothes — it gives me a lot of free time."

Fifty years ago, this might have been worth a look.

Hmmm...I wonder what her existing supply is like? Enough to clothe a small city, I would imagine.

Kerry...the American gigolo who married an African-American...so I guess he gets points for that decision.

If she needs something red, someone should give her a MAGA hat.
