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."

Someone post the Jane Fonda urinal target we all used in the military
This witch with a "b", is 82 next month and she's going to "sacrifice" to save the planet by not buying anymore clothes.
Well, whoop dee doo. Not exactly an earth-shaking plan.
At age 72, except for some underwear and shoes that wear out, I haven't bought any new clothes for over a decade now. And won't ever have to again. I got plenty of clothes to last until I die.
Same with my pickup truck. It'll last for the duration, as well.
Who needs new clothes when you get old?
So, she prevents the farmer from profiting from the sale of his cotton, the spinner from spinning the cloth, the sewer from sewing the garments, the trucking company and its employee drivers from delivering the goods, the storekeeper from making a living, and the little lady who needs a new coat from enjoying the coat which the farmer’s cotton or wool made possible. This listing omits other workers who might benefit from the sale of the coat she refuses to buy. Amazing that Fonda’s arrogance and ignorance merits even a line in a newspaper.
She tried the no clothes thing in Barbarella, but it didn’t cool the Earth.

Damn shame..a wasted life.
I will never ever forgive that traitor bitch
Nice waist to hip ratio. Those are breedin hips.
Hmm. Her latest capitalist enterprise must have fizzled out.
ethics of altruism (= sacrifice) and duty are irrational
A nude Jane Fonda 40-50 years ago would have been interesting but now...
She is still going to wear clothes though, right, please?.
[[Jane Fonda to fight climate change by not buying any more clothes]]
The makers of Epicac are distraught-
But how do we know what she wears is new or old since she has such a huge selection of clothes.
No more clothes?!? Say it ain’t so! Last thing anyone needs to see is a naked Jane Fonda!
I so remember that movie.
What happens when she needs new underwear?
Jane don’t need no stinking underwear
