Writer Declares: ‘I Got a Vasectomy Because of Climate Change’
Wes Siler is Outside magazine’s Indefinitely Wild columnist. He writes about “adventure-travel in the outdoors, the vehicles and gear that get us there, and the people we meet along the way.” . . .
As Siler notes in his recent piece for Outside magazine, he “got a vasectomy because of climate change.” . . .
However, by not having a child, Siler said he’d save the world from 58 tons of carbon emissions annually: “Any other action we could take, even all the actions we could ever possibly add up together, pale in comparison.”
More from Siler’s column:
