  A great start!

  This is great news.  I hope that he will follow up by getting rid of that ridiculous and short-sighted "breeding incentive" that they've got going on currently.  "One for Mum, one for Dad and one for the country" indeed.  How about "One if we must, then let's stop because we'll all be drinking recycled urine pretty soon because we're running out of water"?On Australia elects prime minister who wants to ratify Kyoto Protocol posted 1 year, 11 months ago 3 Responses

  P&G and Wal-Mart? Good lord.

  I second what Greta said; P&G is a HORRIBLE company to suggest and I can't believe that Umbra doesn't already know the awful things that P&G does to animals.

  Also:  suggesting Wal-Mart?  COME ON.  Many anything-conscious people (economy, environment, health etc) do not shop at Wal-Mart for a plethora of reasons.  For more info, a good source is WakeUpWalMart.com.

  I appreciate the true alternative suggestions that I found in the comments (imagine that:  more answers in the comments section than the actual answer itself!) and will be trying some of them ASAP.On Umbra on green laundry detergents posted 2 years, 1 month ago 16 Responses

  Tick tick?

  If my personal clock "ticks over," there's always adoption.  At this point in time, I cannot justify satisfying a superfluous "biological urge" by causing a lifetime (or two or three) of suffering for someone else.  There are already enough existing children who need to be cared for.

  And actually, the "urge" is for sex, not babies.  I don't like babies.  AT ALL.  So I'm quite confident that things will work out for me.

  Thanks for the well-wishes, and for stopping at 2!On Control Your Emissions posted 2 years, 6 months ago 8 Responses

  I got snipped after... zero

  29 yr old female here, and I got a tubal last year because of the heinous impact American children have on the world.

  Also because I feel that inflicting this world on an unsuspecting human being is very close to child abuse, these days.

  All the world's problems come down to one thing:  the "world," i.e. people.

  Inspiration

  Thank you for the awesome article and for the great comments, everyone!  This stuff is inspiring me to bike to work.  It's ridiculous that I'm letting a 4-lane highway scare me away from biking the tiny distance from my home to work.

  I especially liked the video.  Ack!  They all went so fast and zoomed right in between groups of people, etc.  What was the song, though?  I liked it and want to check out the artist/band.On Bicycling highs posted 3 years, 2 months ago 22 Responses
