World Naked Gardening Day (WNGD) is an annual international event generally celebrated on the first Saturday of May
by gardeners and non-gardeners alike.
According to NBC's Today News, WNGD "has become an annual tradition that celebrates weeding, planting flowers and trimming hedges in the buff. While it's linked to a movement of nudists who promote wholesome and unashamed acceptance of the human body, the day is meant to be funny, lighthearted and non-political, founders say."
Organizers assert that "besides being liberating, nude gardening is second only to swimming as an activity that people are most ready to consider doing nude".
Beyond body positivity, Corky Stanton of Clothes Free International, an organization that promotes nude recreation, has asserted that the event offers the "fringe benefits of bare, unabashed recreation: the satisfaction of exercising in the great outdoors; the attractiveness of an all-over tan; more Vitamin D on your whole body; the unbeatable experience of skinny-dipping if the naturist event involves a beach or a lake.

(38,187 posts)do this and tell them if they tip me enough I won't do this against next year. I wonder if that would work to get enough money to move to a blue state.
I doubt you can use GoFundMe that way though, can you? The tip jar to clothe me might work though. I could afford the price of scalped TP on Ebay then....maybe.
