Stay together and save the planet...

... or in other words, HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Scientists have quantified for the first time the extent to which divorce damages the environment. The researchers found that the combined use of electricity across the two new households created rose 53% while water use was up by 42%.
This is serious research, folks.

And in the You Just Can't Win department, banning smoking in pubs and restaurants will one day kill us all.

Pubs are likely to pump hundreds of thousands of tons
of additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as a result of the
smoking ban.Policy advisers predict that
emissions from patio heaters in pubs and restaurants will increase from
22,200 tons of greenhouse gases a year to up to 282,000 tons - the
equivalent of flying a jumbo jet 171 times around the Earth.

yeah, by staying together, there's a chance you could kill each other, thus reducing the world's population somehow and the strain on its resources.
