Found it, I think - I remember the other part about his mini stove for making tea - https://web.archive.org/web/20150803225629/http://robrhineha...

> 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.

I'm sure i remember a few more details, like his claim that black t-shirts worn only once are the most stylish possible garment, but i'm willing to put that part down to the Berenstein Bears effect.
