Right to bare legs

Today, No Pants Day will undoubtedly spark dialogue about climate change 3

Arguably, a far superior cousin to Earth Day: No Pants Day.

It may seem to be an innocuous, juvenile ritual devoid of underlying political intentions, but neglecting one's trousers provides unavoidable commentary about global warming. Conversation starter: "My legs are hot ... and so is the planet." (Bringing up body hair and deforestation is optional.)

After all, "When large groups of people parade around in public without their pants, amazing things are bound to happen."

    what about?What about no underwear day? are we going to have one of those?
    Seriously, I bet we could save the planet by wearing no clothes. think about it!


    We would not need all the cloth

    We could save energy by not making clothes,

    We would save trees by not buying magazines about clothes and fashion

    We would save food, because more people would care about what their bodies looked like and they would not be as fat and overweight

    We would save money by not over eating - see point above

    We would not kill animals for fur
