OnlyPants

The year 2023 will be the warmest in 125,000 years. The greenhouse gases caused by us humans are responsible for this. Humanity never produced more greenhouse gases than in 2023. These are the facts. Objective, valid, reliable. This is a problem. We are all part of the problem. But also part of the solution. What started as a not entirely serious Instagram post from a mutual friend - "Patrick and Jean-Paul have promised sexy photos for every klima&so vote at the Social Impact Award" - was the birth of OnlyPants. The climate crisis is real. But we are no longer looking. But when our pants fall, our eyes are wide open. Sex sells. OnlyPants is a story, a play on the dissonance between Calvin Klein-esque sexualization and existential threat. If it takes naked skin to make the fight against climate change more present again - let's put up the screen. Skin in the Game. Everything is connected. Our actions, our effect on our climate, our climate on us. We cannot be neutral observers, because we are all in the middle of it. We are part of the problem and that also empowers us to be part of the solution. OnlyPants is evidence of a decision. We have made a decision. From observation to action. More observers through action. Where do you stand? Observation or action? Help us, help each other. Look, talk about what is happening. Today is a start. An Instagram story is a start. A conversation is a start. The community is a start. On that note, LFG. Jean-Paul & Patrick
