What the????? Extreme Global Warming?

I could not believe this story when I first heard it. I know some will think I'm crazy for finding this story a bit extreme but I do. I think that there are many reasons for wanting to have an abortion but to have yourself sterilized to cut down on your carbon foot print. Is carbon neutral suicide next and if so do we accept that as acceptable?  Where does this drive for the " carbon neutral footprint" go too far or is there such a thing?

Maybe I'm blowing this out of proportion . You tell me.

Toni Vernelli, 35, hopes her actions would ensure her carbon footprint would be kept to a minimum, the Mail reported. The environmental advocate also sees having children as an egotistical act.

"Having children is selfish. It's all about maintaining your genetic line at the expense of the planet," Vernelli told the Mail, adding she believes bringing new life into the world only adds to the problem.

Another woman, 31-year-old Sara Irving, also underwent sterilization because she felt "a baby would pollute the planet."

Irving became an environmentalist as a teenager when she realized saving the environment was her top and foremost priority in life, the Mail reported. After going through several boyfriends she finally found her now husband Mark Hudson who shares in her ‘no kid’s policy.’
