Birth Control Can Save the Environment
Global climate change is real, and yes, the polar bears are drowning. There are tons of things you can do to reduce your impact on the environment, like recycling, driving a hybrid car, using solar power and wearing a condom. Wearing a condom? Yep, wearing a condom can help save the planet.
Think about it: Humans are largely responsible for melting ice caps, oceans of garbage and disappearing animals and forests. If we want to reduce our impact on the environment and make good use of limited resources, like water, then we’ve got to reduce population growth by preventing unplanned pregnancies.
Using a condom or other method of birth control to prevent an unplanned pregnancy isn’t just about saving your own skin; it’s about protecting the environment. So do your part to save the planet and use a condom or other method of birth control if you decide to have sex.

And… Once again I’m stuck arguing with closed minded people who only listen to what the media tells them. This artical sounds as far fetched as my aunt, to believes no one should be allowed to have more than one child. Did you know that there is *scienctific* proof that two volcanic eruptions the size of Mt. Saint Helen’s puts more polution into the air than a hundred years of SUVs? Also, granted yes, humans do kill animals, and that isn’t good, but this is nature we’re talking about. Evolution will always be a step a head in the end. And if you don’t believe in evolution, what are you using condoms for anyway, aren’t they a no-no then? Yes, polarbears are drowning, but in twenty years, we’ll all be eating the going green mantra. If you really care about the enviroment, read the book Not By Fire, but By Ice, & start planning in a way that makes sense instead of guiliting people into doing things. Because laying a guilt trip on the world doesn’t make you a better human.

I agree with the comment above. I really don’t like the attitude taken in this article which, as stated above, discourages pregnancy at all and sends readers the message that having children is a bad thing. I commend you for your attempt to connect condom use to all levels of teens lives, but having children at some point in your life is a GOOD thing.
