And don't forget the silver underpants.

The Danish startup, Organics Basics, has invented underwear that can be worn for weeks without washing, with the special ingredient being silver, which kills 99.9% of bacteria.

This is from a Business Insider article yesterday:

Yes, that's right — underpants you can wear for weeks without washing. But Organic Basics' mission as a company is not to advocate laziness amongst the younger generation, though it might seem the case.

No; it's all about saving the environment.

"Our business is sustainable fashion. The traditional way of buying, wearing, washing and throwing away overpriced underwear is a terrible waste of resources. And it is extremely harmful to the environment," says 27-year-old Mads Fibiger, CEO and co-founder of Organic Basics.

Washing and drying account for two-thirds of the total impact on the environment, and that is why Organic Basics got started on their underwear. The special ingredient is silver. This particular metal is antimicrobial which is why NASA uses silver to purify water for astronauts.

The underwear comes with a silver formula coating that kills 99.9% of all bacteria and odour in the garment, according to Organic Basics.

"It works. You can wear our underwear much longer before washing. You save time and money while we reduce the waste of water and energy," Mads Fibiger explains.

The company initiated a Kickstarter campaign earlier this month to fund version 2.0 of the silver underwear. Apparently the funds pledged so far have way exceeded their initial goal of $30,000 US. It is open for another 22 days, so you can still contribute if you really want to...

Might come in handy for those headed for the doomsday bunker.
