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."

50 years ago and this would have been an awesome idea...

Today.... Not so much so. Keep buying your cloths Jane, we'll forgive you for breathing out CO2.

Hey Jane! Your pantyhose are wrinkled.

JANE: “I’m not wearing pantyhose.”

Jane Fonda can shop in “vintage” second-hand shops, those articles of apparel no longer have an impact on the environment.

Time she took to wearing grannie costumes anyway. After all, she is in the ninth decade of her life, and statistics indicate that she may not have all that many years left anyway.

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

My thoughts exactly...

No worries. Liberals love to make rules, then carve out exceptions for themselves. By this time next year Fonda’s “I will not buy any more clothes” will morph into “I will not buy any green jackets on the weekend.”

Maybe I’m a bit twisted, but I’m remembering an old joke.

Two widows were sitting at the hairdressers, talking about their husbands’ funerals.

One was going on about how nice everything was, and how much it cost - $50,000.

The other said, “that’s nothing. My husband’s funeral cost $100,000, so far.”

“So far?”

“We buried him in a rented tux.”

One better Jane — how about you threaten the Clintons? When they take you out, you will not longer be producing carbon.

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


Yep... now it is just a pair of tube socks with a roll of quarters on each.

Maybe stop eating as well since growing food adds to climate change.

Let’s hope it’s because she has croaked.

How big is her house? Does it have heat? Does it have air-conditioning? Does she have a car or just ride in limos? Travel by airplane?
