Do It For The Birds And The Bees

September 18, 2009 Front Page No Comments

Like many kids of the modern age, I’ve been told to ‘keep it safe’ and use safe sex practices. I can remember the awkward experience of “getting the talk” from my parents too. Hearing your mom say the word diaphragm is just plain weird. Hey, let’s face it, nobody wants to get a disease or be confronted with an accidental pregnancy.

But now, there’s another reason to play it safe: the environment.

According to a recent report, contraception in all forms is key to preventing climate change. The reasoning behind it is simple: climate change is linked to population growth, but in 40 of the world’s poorest countries, women do not have access to birth control. The report states that over 200 million women want to have access to condoms or other methods but can’t get them.

It’s a good thing to keep in mind, next time you’re at the drug store, picking up your chosen birth control method. You’re not just protecting yourself – you’re protecting our world. And that’s an ‘extended pleasure’ we can all get down with.

If You Want to Help Out in the Gulf of Mexico, Cut Your Hair?

May 11, 2010

That’s right women, you saw it here! If you want to help with the Gulf, cut your hair. Now I know that seems outrageous but apparently, just as hair has the ability to absorb the oils released from our skin it can do the same for the oil in the ocean. Check out this link [...]
