    Have protected sex even if you only have access to non-biodegradable condoms, getting antibiotic resistant chlamydia isn’t going to save the planet.

      Also from an environmental perspective, having a child is about the worst thing you can do compared to…using a fucking condom lmao.

        One baby can go through 6,000 diapers until potty trained.

        One condom vs 6,000 diapers. I think your right about the condom doing less damage to the environment.

          Just use the washable ones, made from organic cotton. Lower environmental impact, shorter time until potty trained as well on average. Still not as good as not putting extra people on the planet though 😁

      Yes, however, it’s the other chemicals they mix it with that make it not biodegradable. Thankfully there are some companies not using those chemicals now which is lovely.

      Also, for those who are allergic to latex, unfortunatley the only option is polyurethene which is plastic, and as such not at all biodegradable.
