Well, I saw this one coming a longtime ago. So, ready for the big shock everyone, the best way to lower your carbon footprint isn’t to drive a hybrid, ride your bike, have a compost pile, have a solar panel and windmill on your property… the best way is to just not have kids. If we stopped having kids, that would solve all of our problems. Wait, we’d go extinct. OK, let’s just say everyone can have one kid, that way we don’t go extinct, but we show this planet the love and respect it deserves. After all, the last thing “Mother Earth” wants to deal with is kids!

This article talks about the findings from Oregon State University that show the best way to lower your carbon footprint, don’t add more little footprints.

The religion of environmentalism may eventually try to limit the number of kids that an American can have. That would be wrong and we need to be aware of the agenda behind those who hold to Global Warming with a religious faith.

I did a review of Demographic Winter recently and they talked about the big-time problems we’re going to face if we don’t start having more kids. Which is very much the opposite of what we are hearing from the global warming crowd.

“Demographic Winter – the decline of the human family” is a 56-minute documentary made by Acuity Productions that retails for $19.99.

The beginning of the movie shows you how the birthrate is declining and explains why this is happening. I guessed that the video would be broken up into two clear parts, 1 – that we are having less kids. 2 – that’s going to be bad for the economy. But the movie flows really well and does a good job of giving the viewer the big picture.

One interesting statement that stood out to me is, “Those who can best sustain a large family are not having large families and those who can least sustain large families tend to have more children.”

The movie makes a great case for how much better the world would be if we had more married families. This isn’t a new thought or groundbreaking, but it is laid out very powerfully in the documentary. If you had an argument with this idea before seeing this video, your mind should be changed by the video… but if you had an argument against that simple idea, you may not be capable of seeing the truth of the matter ☺

The video makes a claim, that I’ve always thought makes sense, but is about as un-PC as you can get, “Certain people are destined for extinction.” With the idea that faith-based groups have the most kids and secularists are having less and less kids. They make a good case for this claim.

The video ends with these words from one of the experts: “I’m not churched… I have one child adopted… this is not a faith-based analysis… this is not driven by faith… it just turns out these are the facts.”

I’d recommend watching the video if this topic interests you at all, it is very well done.
