PETA And Jenna Jameson Ask You To Pleather Yourself, But We Go Further

by Nicole

Porn star Jenna Jameson is PETA's latest cover girl. The retired adult actress donned a skimpy faux leather bra and panty set for the organization's latest ad to promote cruelty-free leather alternatives. But while pleather may have the approval of the People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals, it doesn’t get the vote from environmentalists, since the plastic leather substitute is manufactured from oil and is slow to biodegrade.

The Daily Mantra recommends you stick to organic cotton and hemp underwear, though those truly concerned with saving the planet may want to follow the lead taken by eco-warriors such as Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, by doing away with undies altogether. Underwear-free living not only saves natural resources, but also reduces water and detergent consumption by cutting down the weekly laundry load.

To promote this animal and eco-friendly win-win option, The Daily Mantra is encouraging its readers to limit the use of intimate apparel to just four days a week. We're in the process of getting the folks from the CO2-busting website Carbon Rally to calculate the impact of such action on our carbon footprint, and our Carbon Rally teammates can expect more details of our "Save A Tree Go Undie Free" challenge shortly. "Save A Tree Go Undie Free" T-Shirts will also be available soon.

Well, it's all fun, but with no undies girls would have to wash their pants after one wear! At least most of them. I don't know what happens in the pants of Paris Hilton or Britney Spears, but I know what happens in mine. Also I knew girls who wore no underwear and they confirmed that pants have to be washed more often - and that would be even more energy and detergent waste. For the "pantieless" idea to work, all girls have to go back to wearing skirts all the time.
