Skinny, Single, Childless? You ARE Saving The Planet!

According to a recent study at Oregon State University, “the carbon legacy and greenhouse gas impact of an extra child is almost 20 times more important than some of the other environment-friendly practices people might employ during their entire lives – things like driving a high mileage car, recycling, or using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs.”

If you stay single or, if married, choose to have fewer or no children, you are more environmentally friendly than those with a bunch of kids.

“The current obesity epidemic may also be hurting the climate, because food production is a major contributor to global warming.”
