So, the best thing you can do to reduce your carbon footprint is to die, which is just a one-time carbon input. Of course, you should chose an environmentally
friendly method of suicide that doesn't create more CO2.

The article doesn't say anything about some foods, like beans, that may contribute even more to greenhouse gases, not to mention the displeasure of your co-workers.

The climate could benefit if people avoided exercise, ate less and became couch potatoes. Why do so many people with nothing to say, get published and those that do, don't?

The above is a key ingredient of the recipe for very bad health. Then the person needs major amounts of health care. There is a LOT of plastic in healthcare .. i.e. tubing, IV's, syringes, beds, covers, gloves, garments, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. .... Plastics manufacturing is very unfriendly to the environment. The above list does not include ambulance services as the couch potato has a stroke and/or heart attack ... more fuel, plastics, steel, etc. ...

The guy should do some thinking before he publishes such silly stuff.

Also, for a couple decades now I've despised cars (not due to environmental concerns) and have often stated that if I could find a way to get by in society by walking EVERYWHERE, I would and would have a donkey with me to carry stuff. If it took months to get somewhere, so be it. Share the gospel along the way ... pray ... sing ... :)

A lot of environmentalists don't care about people or their health. We're a blight on the planet. They'd be happy is we all sat on our couches and died.

When the rapture happens, there will be those who will say that it was the best thing for this planet. Exit of millions of people who were polluting the planet.:doh
That's fine with me, cause we will be rejoicing in Heaven and the rapture is the best thing besides the gift of salvation, to happen to a Christian.:panic:thumb
