Tara Freymoyer and Matt Merkel of Birdsboro, Pa., have both given up deodorant, to mixed reviews from friends and family.
A DAILY shower is a deeply ingrained American habit. Most people would no sooner disclose they had not showered in days than admit infidelity. But Jenefer Palmer, 55, of Malibu, Calif., cheerfully acknowledged recently that she doesn’t shower or shampoo daily and doesn’t use deodorant. Ever...
A growing number of people are cutting down on daily showering and hair-washing. So could you join the extreme soap-dodgers?

If you are reading this article over breakfast, the chances are you have recently stepped into the shower, lathered up your hair and torso, rinsed off, towelled and blow-dried, before dousing your armpits with deodorant, and wafting on a fog of perfume or aftershave.
Then again, maybe not. The New York Times has just reported on a new trend towards what's sometimes known as soap-dodging. Among those who have cut down on daily showers, baths or hair-washing were a woman who swipes a sliced lemon under her armpits instead of deodorant, another who uses baby wipes to freshen up after her lunchtime runs, and a salesman who shampoos only once a month and gave up anti-perspirant for three years.
Think this is only happening in the US? Think again. There are plenty of signs that this carefree attitude to cleanliness is popular in the UK too – and in some cases growing. Last year, a poll for tissue manufacturer SCA found that 41% of British men and 33% of women don't shower every day, with 12% of people only having a proper wash once or twice a week. (These figures place us behind Australia, Mexico and France in the personal hygiene stakes.) Around the same time, research by Mintel found that more than half of British teenagers don't wash every day – with many opting for a quick spray of deodorant to mask any stink...
The Moneyless Man says you don't need to pay out for expensive, polluting products to stay clean and well-groomed
You're ugly, you smell and you need our help. They may not say it so explicitly, but that's what the marketing departments of Johnson & Johnson, L'Oreal and their ilk would love you to believe. Without their product, you're incomplete. It's the most attractive insecurity to exploit: your desire to be attractive.
We all want to look our best, and nobody wants to smell bad. The positive news is that there are a number ways you can stay naturally fresh without spending a penny.
My main tip: do absolutely nothing. Stop washing so damn often and definitely don't use soap. I appreciate that this contradicts everything you've ever been told to believe, but you'd be surprised. It's common knowledge that washing your hair every day can actually make it greasier. I've found the same goes for your skin...
People such as me are often accused of wanting to return to the 19th century. But, if the New York Times is right about a new trend, some on the Left want to go back to the Middle Ages. What is that trend? Avoiding soap, deodorant, and even bathing regularly. Today, though, it’s often for environmental reasons.
It seems that top-notch Western hygiene has now joined SUVs, Wal-Mart, tobacco (not the wacky kind — it’s in fashion), guns, McDonald’s, and white males in the Museum of Politically Incorrect Persons, Places, and Things.
For example, Guardian writer Kira Cochrane tells us about 51-year-old environmentalist Donnachadh McCarthy, who boasts that he’s gotten his water consumption down to about “20 litres a day,” that he’s “as clean as everyone else,” and that he’s trying to reduce his “carbon footprint.”
If I were Donnachadh, I’d be more concerned about my stink footprint...

A garbage pile at the Dufferin waste management plant in Toronto. A new monitoring system in Kelowna, B.C., will keep tabs on how residents dispose of their trash
Laura Baziuk, Postmedia News · Wednesday, Sept. 15, 2010
Officials in B.C.'s Okanagan Valley plan to use camera-equipped garbage trucks to film what gets dumped in order to make sure people are recycling properly.
Since the introduction last year of a three-bin system, providing garbage, recycling and yard waste bins, waste contamination has become a big problem, said Peter Rotheisler, manager of waste reduction at the Central Okanagan Regional District. While the system has helped to keep more material out of the landfill, it costs about $300,000 a year to pull out any materials in the wrong place.
The cameras will be able to record what is thrown out so city staff will have proof of bad behaviour.
"We' re not watching people.... We're looking for material types — paper, carboard, garbage — in the wrong spot," Mr. Rotheisler said.
Mixing things like cardboard, batteries or electronics in with the garbage will net a warning from the city, a fine of up to $100, or even the cancelling of curbside pickup, he said.
The religion of death: James Jay Lee, along with many prominent environmentalists and academics, share their eugenicist belief system with the man who many consider to be evil incarnate
Charles Manson, the man who masterminded the brutal murders of nine people in the summer of 1969 in an effort to spark a race war in America, has adopted a new cause from his prison cell in California – he is a prophet for the global warming movement – sharing common ground with top academics, environmentalists and even the White House science czar in calling for large numbers of human beings to be exterminated in the name of saving the Earth.
A study of Manson’s belief system is an alarming exercise in understanding the roots of the modern day eugenicist movement, which is propagated via the notion that overpopulation is killing the planet and causing global warming.
The infamous “Manson family” were responsible for the barbaric slayings of actress Sharon Tate and her unborn baby, as well as Rosemary LaBianca and her husband Leno, murders that sent shock waves through America and marked a sudden and crashing halt to the “free love” hippy movement of the 60’s. Manson himself shot and wounded one man, Bernard Crowe, and directed his cult-like followers in the murders of nine other victims.
Manson masterminded the murders in a bid to precipitate a race war between whites and blacks which he dubbed “Helter Skelter,” a term he took from the Beatles song of the same name. Manson and his followers were arrested for the murders in October, November and December of 1969 and all received life sentences.
Manson, who still adorns a Nazi swastika tattoo on his forehead, did not glom on to the global warming bandwagon after seeing Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth, the movie that gunman Lee cited as his inspiration, he was preaching about the need to kill people in order to save the polar ice caps from melting as far back as the mid-80’s.
Watch the following clip, filmed in 1987 by the Today Show, in which Manson attempts to absolve his role in the brutal murders of Sharon Tate, Rosemary LaBianca and seven others, by saying the slayings were justified in the name of the environment and expressing regret that he could not have killed more people.
Responding to a question about why he directed the killings, Manson responded, “I am working to save my air, my water, my trees and my wildlife, and I’m trying to do away with society.”
“Why don’t you tell them that the polar caps are melting because you’re creating so much heat with this machine,” continues Manson….”Maybe I should have killed four or five hundred people then I would have felt better, I would have felt like I’d really offered society something…..the truth is the planet Earth is dying.”
In a separate clip from the same interview, Manson chillingly states, “If I started murdering people, there’d be none of you left.”
The You Tube clips of Manson’s prison interviews are accompanied by hundreds of comments from people who agree with his barbarous views on the need to kill humans in order to save the Earth.
Manson also talks about the need to set up “suicide parlors” so that people can kill themselves in an orderly fashion so that the world can be cleansed of humans.
In another interview with Geraldo Rivera, Manson goes further, saying that 50 million dead will be required to please mother Earth.
“I’m gonna kill you, as many as I can. I’m gonna pile you up to the sky, I figure about 50 million,” said Manson, “I figure if I can get about 50 million of you I might be able to save my trees and my air and my water and my wildlife.”
Mason characterized the slaughter of 50 million people in the name of saving the planet as “just a drop in the bucket of what’s really coming.”
Watch the clip.
The fact that Manson, considered by many to be evil incarnate and the leader of one of the most creepy and bloodthirsty cults ever recorded, is now a prophet for the religion of global warming and climate change, proves that the real agenda behind global warming, neo-eugenics, has its roots in the darkest and most abhorrent recesses of the human mind.
Manson’s eugenicist doctrine didn’t end when television stations were banned from interviewing him in the late 80’s, the dark mystique surrounding the former cult leader continues to this day, with followers still attempting to communicate and meet with the now 75-year-old inmate of Corcoran State Prison, eager and receptive to his environmental message.
One such individual is a man Manson himself dubbed “Gray Wolf,” who moved close to the prison for the express purpose of hearing Manson’s insights on climate change and the environment. “Manson thinks the destruction of the environment is much more serious than we are being made out to believe,” Wolf told CNN. “Our government keeps covering up problems with pollution, with coal, with automobiles. Charlie says we need to get back to the horse.”
In calling for a return to the agrarian age, which ended in around 1700 as the industrial age began, Manson is echoing the propaganda of people like author and environmentalist Keith Farnish, who in a recent book called for acts of sabotage and environmental terrorism in blowing up dams and demolishing cities in order to return the planet to pre-industrial society. Prominent NASA global warming alarmist and Al Gore ally Dr. James Hansen endorsed Farnish’s book.
James Jay Lee also parroted this anti-industrialist creed, calling for the need to “disassemble civilization” in his online rant.
“Crime is anything that’s done against your survival. Any sin against your life is crime. The problem is the atmosphere is dying, anything that sins against the air is a sin against your life, anybody that sins against the air should be considered a criminal and any sin against the air should be considered a crime,” said Manson.
Another of Manson’s “followers,” a 24 year-old woman Manson named “Star,” invoked the Club of Rome’s infamous 1990 publication entitled The First Global Revolution, in which the organization outlined how they would manufacture ecological scares in order to manipulate the public into accepting the imposition of a dictatorial world government run by them, when she talked about Manson’s belief that humans were the enemy of the Earth.
“The goal, really, the main goal is to basically save life on the planet Earth from the humans,” she said. “We have a key to make this goal accomplished, and that key is Charlie Manson,” she said.
But who should lead this crusade to rid the planet of evil humans, or “parasitic human infants” as James Jay Lee called them? Manson makes it clear who should be empowered to carry out the eugenics program in a 1987 interview with the BBC’s Bill Murphy, and it’s the same “planetary regime” that White House science czar John Holdren advocates to carry out forced abortions and mandatory sterilization procedures in his 1977 book Ecoscience.
Watch the clip.
“We’ve got to get a one world government,” rants Manson out of the blue, “We’ve got to have it man.”
Indeed, what could be termed Manson’s “official website,” which is named after the philosophy he coined, Air, Trees, Water, Animals (ATWA), features on its front page a globe with the words “One World Order” written underneath. A special page is dedicated to this promotion of a “one world order,” which includes a poem written by Manson about how the foundation of a one world order is closely related to a “green” lifestyle.
Charles Manson’s “official” website advocates a one world order.
Manson’s call for a one world order to manage the planet on an environmentally sound basis mirrors the thoughts of James Lovelock, top environmentalist and creator of the Gaia hypothesis, who told the Guardian earlier this year that “democracy must be put on hold” to combat global warming and that “a few people with authority” should be allowed to run the planet.
Another Manson fan website, again named after the Air, Trees, Water and Animals acronym, proudly displays the mutilated corpse of pregnant victim Sharon Tate on its front page, declaring that Manson is both the God and the devil.
In 1975, one of Manson’s “family,” known as “Squeaky” Fromme, attempted to murder President Gerald Ford in the name of saving California’s redwood trees. In resorting to violence for the sake of environmentalism, Fromme shared the same motivations invoked by James Jay Lee some 35 years later.
Manson’s belief that humans need to be killed in large numbers in order to preserve the environment is one shared and promoted by many prominent academics and scientists, people like Dr. Eric R. Pianka, an American biologist based at the University of Texas in Austin. During a speech to the Texas Academy of Science in March 2006, Pianka advocated the need to exterminate 90% of the world’s population through the airborne ebola virus. The reaction from scores of top scientists and professors in attendance was not one of shock or revulsion – they stood and applauded Pianka’s call for mass genocide.
Saying the public was not ready to hear the information presented, Pianka began by exclaiming, “We’re no better than bacteria!”, as he jumped into a doomsday malthusian rant about overpopulation destroying the earth.
People like James Jay Lee are now turning such rhetoric into violent action, following in the footsteps of others like Francisco Lotero and 23-year-old Miriam Coletti, who killed themselves, their son, and attempted to kill their own baby as part of a suicide pact to bring attention to global warming.
Charlie Manson – the mastermind of some of the most gruesome and horrific murders America has ever seen – and a man who expressed regret during interviews that he didn’t get the chance to kill 50 million humans – believes vehemently in the same doctrine pushed by top environmentalists and academics, and he has a willing band of creepy “followers” on the outside whose mindset differs little from members of “the family” who followed Manson’s orders in butchering eight people, a new cadre of followers more than eager to further this religion of death.
Manson’s advocacy for the religion of death, and his call for violence in the name of global warming and overpopulation, would be dismissed as the inane rantings of an evil psychopath if it were not shared by people holding significant positions of power in government, academia and science today.
If this doctrine of neo-eugenics, also shared by crazed gunman James Jay Lee, the extended Manson “Family,” the parents in Argentina who killed their kids for climate change, and some of the top environmental scientists and academics in the world, is allowed to take hold, we can expect to see many more bizarre and tragic incidents like that witnessed last week in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Prince Charles: Says taking showers rather than baths could save £15 per year
Prince Charles has told British families to take shorter showers to help protect the environment.
The instruction came at the end of a list of 20 lifestyle changes recommended by the Prince of Wales for his new green campaign, Start.
In separate advice endorsed by the Prince, he was more detailed – urging people to give up baths in favour of 'short, refreshing' five minute showers.
His campaign website reads: 'Snub the tub. If everybody in a four-person family replaced one bath a week with a five-minute shower, you could save between £5 and £15 per year off your energy bill.'
However, the 61-year-old Prince might need to tackle his own family's washing habits before telling the rest of the country how to behave. His father the Duke of Edinburgh, 89, takes baths...
The Prince of Wales says he believes he has been placed on Earth as future King ‘for a purpose’ - to save the world.
Giving a fascinating insight into his view of his inherited wealth and influence, he said: ‘I can only somehow imagine that I find myself being born into this position for a purpose.
‘I don’t want my grandchildren or yours to come along and say to me, “Why the hell didn’t you come and do something about this? You knew what the problem was”. That is what motivates me.
‘I wanted to express something in the outer world that I feel inside... We seem to have lost that understanding of the whole of nature and the universe as a living entity.’
Green champion: Prince Charles, a long-term committed supporter of the environment, says the modern world has lost the understanding of nature
His impassioned comments come during a film about his belief that unbridled commerce has led to the destruction of farmland and countryside...
