The smell of greens around you.
Der Spiegel- Even the washcloth is a useful invention
In times of gas shortages and rising prices, Baden-Württemberg’s Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann sees himself on the right track as an energy saver. “I have an electric car, I have a huge photovoltaic system on the roof,” said the Green politician of the “Südwest Presse”.
Kretschmann’s tip: »We usually only heat one room. It’s also healthier if you don’t have the same temperature everywhere in the house.« In addition, you don’t have to shower all the time. “The washcloth is also a useful invention,” advised Kretschmann.
You’ll probably need to use google translate or something similar to read the whole thing.
Does he eat bugs and live in a pod? If not, he doesn’t care about global warming.
Maybe he could scrape off and eat the dead bugs cooked on his solar panel. Yum
I have been around Europeans who “don’t shower all the time” and it was not a pleasant experience.
So you been to France. Different hygiene standards there. And that’s for the native Frenchmen.
It’s the euro-women with braided armpits that gross me out.
I GAGGED AT THAT ONE
Great…smelly hippies all over again.
Soon those leftards greenies will tell us to only wipe our butt once a week to save paper, save trees.
Their insanity is not a temporary problem, it is getting worse everyday.
CF….Sharyl Crowe said nobody needs to use more than one square of toilet paper (so there’s that)!
one square???
Are we to believe her bowel produce hamster droppings? ( for those who don t know they are barely bigger than grains of rice )
Leftists are I N S A N E.
CF, Yes leftists are insane, and you finally helped me figure out what those black grains in wild rice are!
No fanny blotters then?
Government rock’n’roller Sheryl Crow came awfully close to advocating for that very thing. She suggested “one square” per washroom visit.
I’d bet her love life took a nose dive after that pronouncement.
“I’d bet her love life took a nose dive after that pronouncement.”
It would be a damned shallow nose dive … probably stayed on the diving board.
Ahhhhhhh…….come on you guys, John Post, CF, Gerry, Burton and Jamie…haha!
That’s NOT what Sheryl Crow said, you are all so incorrect on that. Look it up!
It’s exactly what she said.
“Now, I don’t want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required.”

Apparently mental illness runs in the family…her brother suggests we wash the one square.
Yes, I know. I’m trying to be polite. It’s– she, we chicks, can’t shake it like you guys. Ha!
CF, “Their insanity is not a temporary problem”.
Their insanity is not temporary, and that is our problem, and yeah, it’s getting worse every day. FIFY.
Tvery time I see freeland and her ilk I get an imaginary whiff of un-clean anus, and I imagine its in the odor of l’eau de PM.
Greenie….”Ya know, you don’t need to shower or use soap, man.”
Answer….”No, but you do.”
Bring on the lice to Europe.
They’re organic.
And I’m sure the gang greens will find them tasty.
Reminds me of a story last summer about Californians not flushing/severely limiting the number of flushes per week. Probably still going on, but they don’t talk about water shortages very much now. Probably has nothing to do with Newsom’s political ambitions.
Why anybody would take advice from Germany is beyond me. Germany has been behind much of the worlds suffering for the last hundred years at least. Ignore them and hope they freeze to death this winter. And I’m German, for God sake. Well, Volga German, but you get the picture.
Ahhh…the utopia of the Middle Ages shall return.
When a ruling elite had absolute control via thugs and a weird religious cult, (Green in the New Order) nobody bathed, and people eked out a subsistence living with almost zero technology.
No worries…well, other than that pesky bubonic thingy.
Yes, correct. “Greens” and their New Religion are proving every day that they hate people and most of modern-day civilization. They truly believe, in their innermost black little hearts, that there are too many people to sustain their pure green world, and that those of us who won’t get with their program need to go away. I believe we need to encourage the Greens to “go first”. ASAP.
Yep…life spans of 38 years or thereabouts, increased deaths from sepsis, tooth decay, parasites, respiratory diseases and on and on.
Greenies, mad as hatters, the lot of them.
Flea infested rats? Black Death.. Another WEF hope?
If this is the official answer and solutions to an serious energy shortage/energy poverty crisis going into winter then buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy ride. German politicians solutions are similar to thinking that assuming the crash position in a airplane disaster will save you. You desperately want to beleive such small actions will help you survive but odds are not in your favor.
For a little comic relief, here’s a short blue collar comedy segment about airplane malfunctions:

( well…they are the same people who want us to use very little heating in our house, eat bugs, and as you know, want us to buy electric cars…)
well these 3000 unemployed will not have the money to buy an electric car because FORD is getting rid of them !

Hide their money under their deodorant,they’ll never find it
My Ger Man in-law doesn’t believe in showers, washcloths, or deodorant….
Heil Globohomo! I follow my WEF masters when it comes to Ukraine, why should I not now?
German efficiency meets English home comfort meets French Hygiene. What’s not to love?
With wash cloth the re-emergence of the old English APC –
Arm pits and crutch
Bubonic Plague Returns!
Coming to an EU country near you.
On the bright side, it will be very hard to run a surveillance state when they can’t keep the power on. AI is only good when the juice is flowing.
Wow. My Dad, a soldier in the occupation of Germany after WW Two, was given a ‘How to get along with the Germans’ course because the opinion in 1946 was to not have the Germans get riled up. Personal cleanliness is valued by Germans, apparently. This ‘use a washtowel’ and avoid showers is not going to go over well. Mind you, back in ’46 there was the Werewolf organization to deal with, and this ‘be stinky’ program would have helped the Werewolves to recruit, gather resources and intellegence, and, execute operations. Of course, this is the enlightened 2020’s. Maybe the Germans have had the institution of personal cleanliness hollowed out by Gramscian Bolsheviks and replaced by a celebration of being stinky and cold. Results should start to come in soon.
Yup, I heard something about Germans encouraging showers back then.
Mademoiselle, may I see Le Tits Now?
He has a battery on his roof? What is he – filthy rich? When I was a kid we lived in a rubber tire and ate shoe leather softened in boiled water.
You had boiled water? …
Wait until December and we will find how he manages to wash himself with freshly fallen snow.
Baden-Württemberg’s Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann has had his brain scrubbed.
Not showering helps maintain natural body oils. Helps greenies burn better, energy crisis solved.
No natural gas? heat with environmentalists.
now i know how wise mum was when she insisted i eat my greens
