Last week's Daily Mail included an article on a couple of British women who don't want children "because they're not eco friendly." That's certainly their own business and I'm glad to see at least a few enviromental wackos who won't be spreading their lunacy to their own children.
What was (mildly) amusing was a quote from the husband of one of the women. He boasts that he and his wife "live as green a life a possible. We don't have a car, cycle everywhere instead, and we never fly.
"We recycle, use low-energy light bulbs and eat only organic, locally produced food.
"In short, we do everything we can to reduce our carbon footprint. But all this would be undone if we had a child."
He completes his statement with: ""Sarah and I don't need children to feel complete. What makes us happy is knowing that we are doing our bit to save our precious planet."
So they're saving the earth. Dandy. Just one question: For whom are they saving it?
