Divorce is Not Green

Divorce causes people to go from living under one roof to living under two roofs. More households, even though smaller, with fewer people will use more energy and water, take up more space and contribute to urban sprawl...not a good thing for the environment.

"Environmental impacts of divorce and other lifestyles such as separation should be considered when making personal choices," the report says.

Staying together for the environment may be the "green" thing to do but the color "green" may soon be tinged with a deep shade of "blood red".
