He claims to be striving for minimum impact on the Earth but actually he's living a bare subsistence life no civilized people want.

I think it was a bit presumptuous for the architect to assume I wanted a kitchen with my apartment and make me pay for it.
It's the law, asshole, go live in a cave.

But HM is right, the clothing is over the top.

Clothing
I enjoy doing laundry about as much as doing dishes. I get my clothing custom made in China for prices you would not believe and have new ones regularly shipped to me. Shipping is a problem. I wish container ships had nuclear engines but it’s still much more efficient and convenient than retail. Thanks to synthetic fabrics it takes less water to make my clothes than it would to wash them, and I donate my used garments.

It bothers me immensely that all clothing is hand made. Automation is woefully absent from the textile industry, but I don’t think it always will be. For now a few new t shirts and jeans per month is not very offensive. I certainly buy less clothing overall than a typical consumer. Synthetic fabrics are easy to recycle and I believe will soon be made with biofuels. Still, this area needs some work.
"A few new t-shirts and jeans a month". I don't buy that many clothes. Makes it sound like he buys new rather than washing.
Synthetics? Oil. And he's worried about the water used to make them.
He really doesn't have a clue.
