Ora cá está um pessoal despachado e com contas certas… Isto até vai em inglês que é para não dizerem que houve tradução livre….
“CONTRACEPTION IS ‘GREENEST’ TECHNOLOGY” é o título do comunicado de imprensa do Optimum Population Fund do Reino Unido,organização que trabalha com a London School of Economics. E reza assim, tomem bem nota:
“Family planning cheapest way to combat climate change
Contraception is almost five times cheaper than conventional green technologies as a means of combating climate change, according to research published today (Wednesday, September 9).
Each $7 (£4) spent on basic family planning over the next four decades would reduce global CO2 emissions by more than a tonne. To achieve the same result with low-carbon technologies would cost a minimum of $32 (£19). The UN estimates that 40 per cent of all pregnancies worldwide are unintended.
The report, Fewer Emitters, Lower Emissions, Less Cost, commissioned by the Optimum Population Trust from the London School of Economics*, concludes that “considered purely as a method of reducing future CO2 emissions”, family planning is more cost-effective than leading low-carbon technologies. It says family planning should be seen as one of the primary methods of emissions reduction. (…)”
