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."

You at least need to replace underwear and socks after a couple of years.

When people get to your age, Jane, they generally stop buying clothes.

Fonda's Orgasmatron must take a huge chunk out of her expenses to be considered carbon neutral in front of her climate cult. Not much of a sacrifice to get rid of clothes in order to purchase carbon credits for her Orgasmatron anyway.

This is Fonda’s first realization of mortality. Good odds she has a walk-in closet the size of a small house that is filled with enough never-been-worn clothes that will last the rest of her lifetime.

The real sign she’s headed for the farm is if she stops buying green bananas.

Or she’s lying and her assistant will do all the clothes buying.

Poor woman. I pity her sacrifice. Such injustice.

Is that why my wife says my tee shirts look like sheer nylons?

I just tell her “I like that tee shirt and it likes me”.

I finally broke down and bought some new tee shirts.

I told my wife, “I hope you don’t mind me getting rid of my crochless underwear.” Then lifted my arms exposing the large holes in the arm pits.

She just shook her head.

lol...she’s like 900 years old. Not buying any more clothes isn’t exactly a huge sacrifice.

I was watching some movie about ARVN prisoners after the war (”Ride the Thunder”). It portrayed things exactly as a friend of mine whose father spent years in one.

An American back in the states is trying to raise awareness of how terrible it is since the fall of Saigan.

In several scenes there will be a TV playing with interviews of Hanoi Jane, John Kerrey, etc. One of them has Hanoi Jane saying something like “Never in the history of the world have prisoners been treated so fairly as they are in Vietnam.”
