Earth Day 2014

   

The first Earth Day on April 22, 1970 began with a series of grass roots efforts conducted by citizens (in particular many college students) concerned over environmental issues.   

 

Thus, in honor of Earth Day 2014 (begun in the U.S. and now celebrated in 192 countries), the American Association for Nude Recreation--an organization long known for promoting the natural life and of encouraging its members young and old to serve as eco-conscious custodians of planet Earth--is pleased to share with you five fun factoids and recommendations.

  •  On Earth Day, or any day, don't sit alone in front of the television or computer. The energy your home consumes with you in it through the use of electronics and lights can be substituted with spending time out on the town, congregating with friends or at an AANR member club. It's worth noting that most public areas use fluorescent bulbs, which are more efficient than those found in the average home. If you're not going to go out (or maybe after you do) there is really no better day for using vast amounts of candles.

Veteran Says Nudity Helps His PTSD
One veteran, dubbed the "Naked Veteran," told his story to the Army Times about how becoming a nudist and living at a nudist resort has helped symptoms incurred from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

In the interview, Vietnam War veteran Max Sanchez says the tranquility of "enjoying the weather, the sky, the water" helps him forget about problems.

Munich Creates Legal "Nude Zones"

 

While nudity is popular in many European counties, it is only tolerated in others via unwritten rules and an open mindset. Munich recently has officially legalized public nudity by creating six designated "nudist zones" throughout the city. Public nudity has been debated in Munich since statewide laws concerning nude sunbathing expired last fall, but showing skin is nothing new for the Germans.
