LETTER:Save the world with low sperm counts
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: In the Sixties, the Club of Rome predicted that before the next century there would be a world food shortage. Thirty years later we have set-aside programs to reduce over-production.
In the Seventies, scientists discovered acid rain and predicted that within 10 years forests would die. Last summer, apart from the drought, our forests seemed greener than ever before.
In the Eighties, scientists discovered a hole in the ozone layer; thanks to combined efforts by deodorant and shaving foam users, this problem is being reduced.
Now, in the Nineties, there is a new phenomenon - the reduction of sperm counts, due to pollution. Never before have I seen pollution in such positive light: the only way to curb pollution is the reduction of world population.
I would not be surprised if 30 years from now, we will have set-aside programmes for sperm producers.
