In UK, there are some ladies who are very concerned about
environmental issues. They seemed to think that babies are not
eco-friendly. And for that, they will never consider having a
baby after getting married.
This thinking may be extreme and hopefully no one in SG will
have such idea. There may be some who think along this line, who
knows?
I think these are their concerns :
1. Today's babies used too many pampers. Young and
inexperienced mothers keep changing the pampers. In fact they
changed it every 2 hours regardless if the baby has "shee shee" or
not. They rather not have baby than to pollute the environment with
pampers.
2. Another baby born means another mouth to feed in this planet.
More milk and more cereals. More forest cleared to rear cows and
plant cereals.
3. Baby grow older, attend kindergarten and then attend school.
Used up clothes, papers, pens, computers, printers etc etc....More
waste!
3. Baby grow up to be adults. Require more food. More environmental
waste.
4. Adults married and have more babies ...even more environmental
waste.
So you can see that over the longer term. Just 1 baby will
produce so much environmental waste. Multiply it by a million. Its
staggering.
So, green couples will not want to have non-green babies. Lesser
babies will be born.
