In recent years particularly in the online spaces the focus of naturism has become nudity or nakedness. Nudity or more accurately public and private nakedness now seems to be designated as the baseline for participation in nudist practice. That notion is slowly creeping into the understanding of naturism as well. However, social nudity has always been only one component of naturism. Other aspects are respect for self and others as well as living in harmony with nature. Living in harmony with nature is commonly thought of in popular terms as being eco-friendly. As a philosophical way of life naturism is about stripping away barriers to get closer to nature and life a more natural way of life. However all around us and in our homes there are chemicals and other items that work against healthy naturist living. It’s important to be mindful of the impact of these unnatural products on both our physical and mental well being. This post in the series will explore naturism beyond nakedness in a eco-friendly clothes free kitchen. Here are 5 simple swaps for a more eco-friendly clothes free kitchen.Advertisements Advertisements Swap One – Replace Regular Paper Towels Swedish dish cloths are the replacement option for paper towels. Instead of standard paper towels using the reusable Swedish dish cloths are an alternative for cleaning and spills. They can be bought in packages or on a roll.

We know now that chemicals like BPA and PFAS in plastic wraps can seep into food. Plastic wrap is also typically single use leading to more plastic garbage to be disposed of. The alternative is to use beeswax wraps. Beeswax wraps are made from organic plant material infused with food grade beeswax and oils. Because the wraps are reusable they are an eco-friendly solution to reducing plastic pollution and food waste.
