The environment is our word for the place in which we live. Pigs are naturally
clean creatures, in their natural forest environment - they only get smelly
when humans cram them into an unnaturally small space. Locusts clear the very
ground of every edible thing when they periodically hatch and swarm, there's
nothing left for next time unless their progeny hide for a number of years
waiting for their environment to recover sufficiently. As humans we have a
brain capable of realising these things, seeing the parallels with our own
situation, and making positive or negative choices which affect the way we use
or abuse our environment. We are clearly powerful enough to make lasting and
substantial changes to the world around us. Allegedly we are intelligent
enough to make informed decisions on how we interact with our environment.
Being naked is one positive step in our dealings with nature. It's not
complicated: we use less textile materials, dyes, transport mechanisms, slave
labour and cleaning chemicals, when we use less clothing. To do something
positive today, about tomorrow, get naked, how much simpler can it be?
