The best way we stewards of the earth can preserve the planet for our children and grandchildren is not to have those children and grandchildren. According to a report from the London School of Economics titled ?Fewer Emitters, Lower Emissions, Less Cost,? contraception may be the most cost-effective method of reducing future carbon-dioxide emissions and thereby slowing climate change.
For a more sensible take on sustainability, check out Roy Cordato?s work on the subject, including the video clip below.
