HANG OUT – Give Yourself the Day Off!

Christin Lahr, 2025
HANG OUT – Give Yourself the Day Off!
Grab a hammock – a portable piece of paradise,
and find yourself a suitable place.
Hang it up, climb in, and let gravity do the rest.
Hang out – in public or in private,
alone or with your friends!
Take the whole day off. Escape the system!
Do absolutely NOTHING, nothing at all!
Just hang out, and see what happens.

 

A fun fact: a person at rest only needs about one-tenth of the energy we burn when we rush, stress or exert ourselves. Depending on body weight, metabolism, and daily exploits, a person in a relaxed state exhales about 460 g of CO₂ per day, but in full speed mode, about 5.59 kg. Now multiply that by 8.2 billion people in the world (2025): 
Relaxed humanity: 460 g × 8.2 billion = 3.772 million tons of CO₂.
Stressed humanity: 5.59 kg × 8.2 billion = 45.838 million tons of CO₂ per day.
So if you do absolutely nothing for a whole day, you can easily reduce your carbon footprint by around 10%. 

 

Imagine: if only women*, roughly half of humanity slowing down, breathing easier, and reducing CO₂ emissions together—simply by refusing to exaggerate everything.
And there’s more: a world full of more relaxed people could also be a world with fewer destructive impulses, fewer conflicts, and lower costs for security forces, the military, and burnout treatment. Rest in hammocks – there are worse things.
