Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
We are expected to sacrifice all of our Earthly comforts in the name of climate change. The latest issue brewing across the media is water conservation, specifically taking daily showers. Experts at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) state that the average 8-minute shower wastes 20 gallons of water. There are now calls to establish a new norm of NOT SHOWERING every day to save the environment.
“There’s no need to shower every day,” a recent BBC article suggests. The author said she showers a mere three times a week, which would be seen as a sign of an underlying mental health disorder if not for climate conservation efforts. The author said some of her friends only need to bathe once per week. The article quotes chemist David Whitlock, who went 12 years without a shower, only spraying himself with “good bacteria.” The article calls out numerous “experts” who do not shower every day and are “brave” for admitting their hygiene habits.
Climate zealots are attempting to frame daily showers as a “performative act.” “If you go 100 years back, we didn’t shower every day, because the shower was not a normal thing to have,” Professor Kristen Gram-Hanssen from the Department of the Build Environment of Aalborg University in Denmark, as quoted by the NY Post. “We don’t shower because of health. We shower because it’s a normal thing to do.”
They cannot gaslight independent thinkers. Everyone I know will tell you that skipping a shower leads to poor hygiene, skin and hair problems, and unpleasant odors. Bathing is a simple concept we teach toddlers.
Diseases were more prevalent when people failed to clean themselves. The ancient Romans built intricate aqueduct systems to ensure their people were cleansed. The Grihya Sutras texts of ancient India, dating back to around 500 BCE, discuss daily hygiene rituals. Traders who visited ancient Japan were amazed at how sanitary the people were, as bathing was an early part of their culture.
The powers that be were insisting we wash our hands numerous times a day to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, but now they want us to sit in our own filth? The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has suggested that Americans begin cutting down their time in the shower. The EPA believes we can save 2.5 gallons of water for every minute spent out of the shower. They suggest we wash our hair with the water off and believe five minutes in the shower is more than sufficient. Now, the EPA wants to frame this as a way to cut down on utility costs.
Countless articles are appearing across the web that urge the public to cut down on their time in the shower. Bad hygiene is the latest method of virtue signaling. They slowly embed these concepts into the public’s mind to engrain their version of the “new norm.” We are to reduce our consumption in all areas to combat a problem that does not exist. Notice the slow roll of propaganda that the media presents, as I, for one, do not want this grotesque “new norm.”

Let’s stop wasting water on lawns first.
You can’t “waste” water. There’s just as much water now as when God created the earth.
Might as well just throw some toxic chemicals in it, jesus will be coming back any day to fix everything.
We’re the very definition of a closed system. Thank you, Gravity!

No one needs to shower daily, you certainly don’t need shampoos and conditioners and the majority of soaps people buy are no different than eating Cheetohs as a part of your diet- just read the ingredients panels.
Human beings, like all other animals, are equipped with systems that keep them from developing bad odors and other problems under normal conditions, including bacteria on the surface of the skin, and the secretion of oils that helps maintain good health.
If you’ve been doing really dirty work of course you shower, but the average human being in the West rarely does that kind of work and they are the ones who use the majority of these chemical products. Once your body chemistry is restored you notice that body odor diminishes greatly, skin and hair health increase dramatically and things like acne rarely if ever occur. I’m convinced that the daily washing and sanitizing of the body is what makes people develop BO because they keep washing off the beneficial organisms and oils that help us maintain a healthy skin/hair biome.
We live in times when one must question virtually everything to determine if it’s actually true or if we just believe it because someone told us to.
Interesting perspective…….
I can attest to this. I got off the commercial antiperspirant train a long time ago, these have aluminum in them and are very bad for your health. There is a transition period where you are a tad more stinky, but then you’re not and you actually sweat less under your arms. Natural deodorants work just fine.
I have curly hair so I actually can’t shampoo every day, and I am careful to only use organic products.
Unless I am working in a dirty environment or with animals, I shower every other day and wash my hair 2 or 3 times a week.
Homemade soap is easy, epsom salt works great too. The majority of people are too lazy and too brainwashed by advertising especially women.
You obviously never worked in a hot, humid dirty environment.
Start skipping showers and you are guaranteed to get a fungal infection/rash in sone uncomfortable areas.
When I was a kid, I spent a week in the summer riding in the back of the non airconditioned car with a French exchange student. He neither showered regularly nor smelled good. Then again, maybe it was just a French thing.
I think this is true and do it myself on long camping trips and know people who follow this (however people CAN smell you).
My thing is hot showers and baths feel SO good. I appreciate this luxury and only give it up when I have to. It does dry you out but it’s worth it.
if there is plenty of water where you are, using it abundantly isn’t wasteful.
They are really starting to go after our water here (outlaw use basically by metering testing data gathering). It seems most are clueless about this and think they are doing this for our ‘safety’. We stayed free of technocracy for awhile.
When I first did this years ago, I was slovenly over a weekend, rinsed off Monday morning, and had people tell me I smelled good that first day. Which was weird.
Though that might just mean I smelled bad for ages and no one told me.
Limiting shower water for the environment is dumb, but not using ‘products’ will lead to using less water than their stupid low-flow shower heads or guilting people to not take showers ever will.
“The average person” who does not perform hard or dirty work tends to have an unhealthy diet; eg Cheetos. Washing every day is necessary to remove the waste toxins from their pores and skin. That is the cycle which needs broken.
I have worked in industry with people who worked hard and had poor diets. We tended to locate them in corners or outside because the stench made concentrating impossible.
This will be a boon for that creepy woman on those fucking Lume commercials.
She is a bit intense.
I’m on a well. It only makes 1gpm. So i use a 300 gallon holding tank. I’ll take as long a shower as i please.
We have a deep well that was drill through a cave with an underground river. It was drilled 50 feet further. No water shortage here, just calcium in the water that requires a water softener. We count our blessings everyday!
That would be a bitch for gardening.
Take my guns/take my morning shower…Nah.
Here’s some green-econazi agenda resistance:
Florida Bans Lab-Grown Meat! Will the mRNA Shots Be Next?
BREAKING: Governor Ron DeSantis signed SB1084 to prohibit the sale of lab-grown meat in the state of Florida. Will Florida ban the COVID-19 mRNA injections next?

Now is the time to invent a whole body spray that will kill the 100 yard stench experienced when in close proximity to a Ghettopotamus’s baby maker…there’s a real need, if not a demand.
When approached by the Sheboon Hippopotamus one should throw a gallon jug of bleach onto the ground between self and sheboon.
The scent of clean bleach is a strong repellent to the sheboon and will usually drive her to seek out fried foods or crisco allowing one to escape.
I’ll leave his to our local detox master, mark. mark, what you say, where been?

One year here, they had a bad snowpack and feared a summer water shortage. They begged everybody to conserve water, and threatened to ration. It was wildly successful; people cut back sufficiently and there was no shortage. The next year they raised rates due to insufficient revenue the year before.
