This is an r-rated post. So kindly avert your delicate eyes if you can’t stand the heat.
Every enviro-nut (I use the term affectionately not as an insult) has one specific cause they focus most of their energy on. It could be getting rid of plastic, not buying stuff, eating only locally, etc, etc. I wanted my own little area that wasn’t yet taken (or at least talked about). So I finally figured it out. My cause is not having babies. I then spent some time thinking about a nice catchy slogan and I have it:
stop f*cking! Start l*cking or start s*cking!
When I get my artistic temperament and motivation together, I will design a logo and will place it on my home page. Its hetero and homo friendly. I wonder if I could run for president on that platform. Its also frugal and makes participants happy.
I LOVE THIS! I support your platform 100%. Except, I dunno, SAFE f*cking is kinda, like, fun. The keyword being SAFE. But agree that not making babies would pretty much take care of all the areas of concern, wouldn’t it? In fact, I wrote a bit about it myself. So, lead the way!

I agree with Beth. Getting your wings clipped results in a whole lot more fun.

Even though, I irresponsibly reproduced twice, I totally understand and support you! Population growth is a huge problem. If we all had self-regulated one child policy, the pressure on the environment and natural resource would be a whole lot less. We sit on top of the food chain and do not have natural predators to control our population. But alas, the resource that is required to sustain us has become the constraint. Something’s gotta give. I read that recently Australia government briefly considered imposing carbon tax on families with more than two kids. Of course they abandoned the consideration very fast before people went nuts on them. I heartily command you for what you are doing and don’t understand why people get so touchy about their “right” of having as many children as they please. In fact, if you start a petition to receive tax break for not contributing to overpopulation, I will be the first inline to sign it

I like it! And for those times when you’re just not in the mood for l*cking and s*cking, there’s always finger f*cking and d*ldos, too.

Wow! I am very pleased at this positive reception.
Beth: I did read about Pedro offering his protection (I’m a Napoleon Dynamite fan myself) and do agree with your points on safe f*cking. My husband has agreed to getting a vasectomy soon since his end of being child free is less expensive. I’ve been thinking about IUDs as well….since I read Burbanmom’s post on the subject.
I don’t think I blogged about this, but I did ask my health insurance provider to offer me some sort of discount for being child free (and being generally healthy) - but the response was negative. Maybe I will try some sort of petition. Everyone doesn’t have to go childfree…but a good portion could and should especially if having kids is a financial burden.
Elizabeth: I will incorporate your ideas into my logo as well.

Haha! This is funny. I am eager to see how you design this logo.
What frustrates me is how freaking expensive adoption is versus … f**king. I understand that you want to place kids in good, safe homes, but sheesh.

Follow up: this weekend my husband and I did a casual calculation of the education cost for our two kids. Mind you, just the education cost. Let’s just say that along will delay our retirement by 10 years!!! We seriously need to win a lottery run. But I am too cheap to buy any tickets…

Thanks for the follow up CindyW. When I first began thinking about retiring early, I realized that the amount (around $250,000 for U.S.) it takes to raise a child could finance my retirement. Its also the number of unknowns that could raise that figure (birth defects, or other health problems) that made me think hard about my decision to have/not have kids.
