Marriage is eco-friendly, divorce is not
Um... Yeah... Duh...

You're probably thinking of Eco Mirage', the Welsh-Italian poet who wrote The Song of Wandering Angus:

I went out to the pasture green
Because a fire was in my head
And picked the angus patties clean
And put them in a compost bed

And when the bed was thick and deep
With anaerobes digesting well
I stuck a pipe into the bed
Ignoring the disgusting smell

It had become a source of gas
As well as one of mal-de-mer
When lighted by a burning splint
Did brighten up the evening air...

wrt:
Well duh. Staying together in that situation envariably leads to one spouse shooting the other in the face, which leads to free fertelizer, to grow more plants, to scrub more CO2. Divorce, on the other hand, leads to lots of angry, heated arguments, which release more CO2.

Lets make a movie called, "The Inconveniant Spouse"

What they're really talking about is not marriage, but cohabitation... and the same logic also applies to having all of your children, cousins, nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts, parents, grandparents, and grandchildren in one house.

What! No numbers to support his research, we are only given $7 Billion.
No comparative utility bills.
What about the fact that married people are known to replicate/spawn, some of them drive MPV....yuck!
