Nude Vacation...Sounds Interesting!
Apparently, nudist vacations are the ‘green’ thing to do this summer! James Kanter wrote a piece for the New York Times about the increasing popularity of nudist trips:
Going without clothes on beaches and other vacation spots is commonly called naturism — a description that implies helping the planet, as some practitioners claim to be doing….Where to go? France is already a top destination for “textilists” (a term some naturists use to describe clothes-wearers) but also seems to be one of the most appealing spots for vacationing in the buff. According to the tourist authority in the Aquitaine region on the French Atlantic coast, “‘green’ naturism is growing fast in popularity.” Of the 1.5 million people who practice naturism in France, nearly a third come to Aquitaine while “foreign naturists” account for more than half of holidaymakers in the centers and campsites across the region. (Presumably their fossil fuel use in transportation could cancel any climate benefits of going clothes-free.)
