I mean, you really don’t have to wash jeans every time you wear them unless you smoke or hang out with smokers.
That said, it seems that the last part of that statement aligns with the title more than the first half suggests. Yes, it’s first world people being performative about a dumb thing out of a mix of fashion choice and greenwashing. I think you guys can find common ground there.
I think we can discuss whether the focus on stuff like this has the aggregate effect of absolving corporations or not. It probably does to some extent. I would argue that if you want to act on the damage individuals are doing you still need to set up new incentives for individuals at the legislative or regulatory level. The propaganda side of things is a complement at best.
The no wash people aren’t doing it for conservation, there is no performative nature there about being green. The title is what OP editorialized about an article about fashion designers and isn’t the real title. One even specifically says he guesses that could be a benefit as well but it’s not the goal. They really do just think it looks cool… I’m definitely on the side of rewearing clothes until they need to be washed, but this is literally attacking people who want to do good in whatever small way by comparing them to fashion designers who do not even reflect on the conservation issue.
