Stay married to save the planet

Divorce rates are increasing all over the world, except in the United States where fewer people getting married means fewer people getting divorced. When people live separate single lives, they consume more resources which is contributing to the causes of global warming, according to a study at Michigan State University.
Divorced couples use more space in their respective homes, equating to 38 million more rooms to heat, light, and air condition. Divorced couples also consume 73 billion kilowatt-hours more of electricity and 627 billion gallons more of water than married couples.
More details of the study are provided at New Scientist, which provides more quotes and statistics about divorce and its effect on the environment.

Amen.
Those would be great stats to converse about with all those liberals throughout the world who destroy the world through their self-centric philosophies.
