One of the best things that you can do for the environment is keep a cap on kids. Now don’t get me wrong. I’m all about the little whipper-snappers. After all, it’s their future well-being that motivates me to crank out this blog week after week. Indeed, one of the second best things that we can do is to teach children how to keep their carbon footprint to mouse-like proportions.
Back to the first point…there are about 6.5 million us who call Earth home. And we’re multiplying, putting about a million other species at risk of extinction. Since we have a symbiotic relationship with other creatures, this is kind of bad. From a moral standpoint, it’s also deeply wrong.
For all you lovely heterosexuals out there doing your bit for a sustainable future please keep in mind the following if you prefer condoms (for you wonderful gay men too) ….
How Does an Environmentalist Make Love?
Not by flushing his condom down the toilet. Out of site out of mind? More like: Out of site, into our oceans. Not the best way to share the love. Options include biodegradable lambskin condoms (to prevent pregnancy, not STDs) and biodegradable latex - Condomi from British Condoms.
Latex comes from the sap of the rubber tree, which makes it biodegradable. That is until the condom makers put in top secret additives to make them indestructible. Literally. Condomi, however, is built to breakdown (not while in use).
I’m not the best source of advice when it comes to the love glove. For more, please consult the lovely man-loving ladies who crank out the tips at Ideal Bite. Click here on what they have to say about condoms.
