This is a very interesting article I found on Time.com.
It speaks of how the "green revolution" is making it's way into the bedroom these days and some of the things I am reading are truly fascinating.
Here's an exerpt from the article:
The rest of the article may be viewed here.
Well that is a little disturbing?
Seems the finance sector is not the only place that needs to have a Czar?
Haha, so less kids, less carbon emmissions, buy condoms....Trojan really knows how to stick it to you don't they?
If nothing else but a good laugh, it goes to show that our world is every changing, even sex.
What are your thoughts ATS?

It speaks of how the "green revolution" is making it's way into the bedroom these days and some of the things I am reading are truly fascinating.
Here's an exerpt from the article:
In many ways, choosing a sex toy is not unlike buying a car. Walk into most adult shops, and the new-car smell is undeniable. Salespeople tout motor speed and durability. And then there are emissions to consider.
That's carbon emissions, of course. As the green movement makes its way into the bedroom, low lighting is a must--to conserve electricity--but so are vegan condoms, organic lubricants and hand-cranked vibrators.
Another big enviro-sex trend: birth control that's au naturel. Like all good Catholics, my husband and I had to attend church-run marriage prep before we tied the knot last year. I was surprised, however, during the hard sell on natural family-planning (NFP), that this updated version of the rhythm method was being advertised not only as morally correct but also as "organic" and "green." I was even more surprised when I found out that some of the most popular instructors of NFP--known in secular circles as the Fertility Awareness Method--are non-Catholics who praise it as a means of avoiding both ingesting chemicals and excreting them into rivers and streams.
Nikki Walker, 35, an actress in New York City, stopped taking the Pill because of concerns about the effects of excess estrogen on her body and the environment. "I do yoga every day and eat vegetarian," she says. "Why wouldn't I go green in this area of my life?"
The rest of the article may be viewed here.
At a time when Americans are just getting used to prime-time ads for Trojan and K-Y, eco-consumers are learning that most of the personal lubricants in the U.S.--drugstores sold $82 million worth of them last year--contain chemicals found in oven cleaner and antifreeze.
Well that is a little disturbing?
"Our taboos prevent us from having the same consumer-safety conversations that are commonplace when you're making a toothbrush, sneaker or baby bottle," says Ethan Imboden, founder of Jimmyjane, a luxury adult-toy maker based in San Francisco. This bashfulness is not helped by the fact that the adult-novelty industry is largely unregulated. "Manufacturers can use whatever they want," says Imboden. "And they do."
Seems the finance sector is not the only place that needs to have a Czar?
Case in point: that new-car smell. It may connote nice and clean, but the odor comes from phthalates, which are used to soften plastics in many products, including some sex toys. Like bisphenol A, these compounds are endocrine inhibitors that some studies have linked to premature puberty in girls and low sperm production in boys. Europe and California have already banned certain phthalates.
NFP detects ovulation by monitoring a woman's temperature and the amount of cervical mucus. But this process is not 100% accurate. And several studies on climate change note that the best way to protect the planet is to have fewer children. "Around the world, more than 40% of pregnancies are unintended, and full access to birth control is still unmet," says Jim Daniels, Trojan's vice president for marketing. "Meeting that unmet need would translate into billions of tons of carbon dioxide saved."
Haha, so less kids, less carbon emmissions, buy condoms....Trojan really knows how to stick it to you don't they?
