The Brimley Family is Really the "Green" Family

As it turns out, having 9 children and staying married was really the most environmentally responsible thing we could have done.

Dr. Jianguo Liu, director of sustainability at Michigan State University, notes that “global households are increasing more than the number of people” and thus using more resources. Because of divorce and the rise in single-person households, in 2005 alone in the United States, people used an extra 600 billion gallons of water and 73 billion kilowatts of electricity.
It turns out that the nuclear family is the most environmentally friendly way to house people.


Happy Mothers Day!
