🌍 A Global Message: Letters to the 41 Nations

Inviting Governments to Recognise the Power of Naturism

Every year, over 300,000 tonnes of clothing are discarded in Australia alone. The majority of these garments are made from petroleum-based synthetics, contributing to microplastic pollution, environmental degradation, and a culture of overconsumption.

And yet, millions silently reject this trend. Around the world, 1 in 6 people engage in some form of naturism — whether nude hiking, skinny dipping, or enjoying a clothing-optional beach. But their voices are largely ignored.

NaturismRE (Naturism Resurgence) is changing that.

We have sent a carefully crafted letter to each of the 41 most developed nations. These letters are not confrontational. They are respectful, evidence-based invitations for governments to:

  • Recognise naturism as a legitimate, low-impact lifestyle

  • Support body freedom and personal choice

  • Include naturist perspectives in sustainability and public health policies

  • Explore designated clothing-optional spaces as part of inclusive tourism and environmental strategies

Each letter is tailored to the nation's cultural context and policy landscape, and highlights naturism’s alignment with circular economy goals, climate targets, and human dignity.

    What About the United States?

    We have not forgotten the United States—nor are we giving up on it.

    The U.S. presents a uniquely complex legal landscape where public decency laws and naturism-related regulations are governed at state, county, and even city levels. A national-level approach, as applied to the 41 countries listed here, would not yield meaningful engagement without a more tailored strategy.

    NaturismRE is committed to addressing the United States.

    We are currently preparing a dedicated campaign specifically adapted to the U.S. political, legal, and cultural context. This includes direct engagement with state-level legislators, freedom of expression advocates, and platform accountability organisations.

We are simply using our resources efficiently. The United States will be addressed in the coming weeks.
