How to live eco-friendly?

And unnecessary or environmental pollution when you constantly wash clean things.

Please move into a 50m² apartment in a multi-family house, that's enough, everything else is environmental pollution. Please get rid of the car as well, bus, train, and bicycle are enough...
Once you have done all that, Schubert really has to consider wearing his blazers for 2 or 3 days as well. Not before...

I am logically getting lost here.. If meets the conditions set by , should clean suits less often?!?

By the way, it is pointless to publicly shame each other if everyone is acting within the framework regulated for society.

By the way, this is another trick from the sophistry box: the poisoned well... An argument does not become invalid or even weaker just because the person presenting it has some flaws. Even if you were to accept that, you could argue exactly the opposite. If you already indulge in the decadence of a house, you should especially then try to have as small a footprint as possible in everyday life. It's not about keeping score, but rather having it in mind and trying. But I think that wasn't the main point for most people here and certainly not about putting someone on the spot or devaluing them, but simply about the fact of the sentiment itself - that it is indeed remarkable. As for me, even if there were a magical closet that would give out freshly washed pants/sweater without effort, energy, or water, I would still sometimes leave them lying on the chair and wear them again two or three days later. Because for me, there is no "benefit" in having the clothes freshly washed instead of just worn once and still clean and aired out. But to each their own, I tolerate that some people prefer and do things differently, even among those I live with. I can still be surprised, though.

For example, I drive a BEV and charge almost exclusively with my own electricity. I also use a bicycle. I would like to use bus and train, but we don't have that here. Then at least travel without CO2 emissions with green electricity.
Besides that, I did not build new, but renovated an existing building close to KfW 40 standard (50sqm for four/five people gets really tight btw.).

I feel really good about my eco-footprint. Do you too? And will now wear his clothes longer, since I have done almost everything necessary?

I love the posts by . They almost match those by buchsbaum & Synonymen. LOL.

A piece of advice to If you can eventually afford a fancy dream house, whether it's already built or you have it built, then use the advantage (one advantage among many) of your dressing room, where you can air out worn clothes in a corner on a chair or hanging on a rod without being bothered. A ventilation system does the rest. Of course, you don’t do that in 50 sqm; there it’s more practical to just throw the fabric in the machine. It seems to me, from the amusing conversation on the last pages, that people often indulge in features in the house that are very expensive per sqm, but don’t actually know the benefits. Also, a comfortable refrigerator, whether in a house or apartment, has been ensuring for decades that food stays fresh for several days and minimum shelf life dates are really just minimum times. It can also help to engage with food and its composition. Then it becomes clear on its own that you can still eat sour cream and yogurt three weeks past the date. Personal space, including that of a woman (of course nowadays no genders should be explicitly named, as no gender has a personal privilege), should concern personal development and offer possibilities for free expression. If with your girlfriend it’s more about the visual things she can adorn herself with, then that’s how it is. I consider it a mistake if one (not only “women need”) excessively punishes oneself by denying any indulgence. The focus in the last sentence, however, is on self-determination: one should master oneself and not be mastered. Living together may work unbalanced as it does with you, but that rarely works in the long term.

I once had a girlfriend who liked the fresh smell of laundry... who are you to judge that? Morality police? Block warden monitoring the water consumption of the neighborhood? You can also vacation at the Baltic Sea or at a quarry lake.

Try to tolerate other lifestyles as well and not just consider your own as correct?

Thanks. Who decides what is reasonable? It’s nice if chand values travel as meaningful, other people enjoy the scent of fresh laundry. But that just doesn’t get into the heads of moral watchdogs, even if in the end supposedly no one wants to be one...

Everyone should be happy in their own way. I also wash my T-shirts every day. I’m not a child anymore and I sweat under my armpits. Not only underwear is worn directly on the skin. I don’t have to change jeans every day. The more ecologically you get around (bus, train, on foot for the last mile) and don’t just park in the garage right next to work, the more often you have to wash them anyway. Especially in summer at 35 degrees, you sweat accordingly on your legs too. I wouldn’t want to wear those jeans for a week, let alone 4 weeks. And suits and shirts wrinkle, as is well known. Even if you wear a T-shirt underneath and the shirt might still smell fresh, it’s already difficult to impossible to have a wrinkle-free shirt on the second day. That’s not how I go to work. That’s my opinion. Everyone should do as they like.

Whoever claims to drive an electric car mostly powered by their own photovoltaic electricity in northern Germany should better not claim that the electric car is more ecological than the combustion engine. To offset the greater footprint in production (battery production is very energy-intensive), an electric car must run for quite a long time. But for it to run quite a long time, it cannot be operated only with household electricity, because then not many kilometers would be covered in winter. So if you (especially with a larger family car with a corresponding battery) don’t have a completely abnormal driving profile (many long trips within the home charging radius exclusively in summer), then this claim cannot be true. Probably again the wrong accounting trick is used here, booking summer electricity production against winter charging consumption, which is physically completely illogical. Moreover, it is always ignored that only the surplus electricity from the own photovoltaic system belongs to the electric car, which is not already used by refrigerator, heat pump, etc. Otherwise, you just shift the electricity purchase from the car to the refrigerator. Incidentally, the purchased electricity is almost always 100% coal power in the winter half-year. If I replace a current combustion engine with an electric car, the new electric car creates a new consumer that, unlike often falsely portrayed, does not consume the electricity mix but the additional electricity production, and that is either 100% brown (mostly in winter) or 100% green (mostly during summer daytime).
