Hearing Valkyrie Missile -- Angels and Airwaves
Perhaps the greenest reason to stay married:
Divorce can be bad for the environment. In countries around the world divorce rates have been rising, and each time a family dissolves the result is two new households.
"A married household actually uses resources more efficiently than a divorced household," said Jianguo Liu, an ecologist at Michigan State University whose analysis of the environmental impact of divorce appears in this week's online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
I don't know how true this is. If I were divorced, for example, I suspect that I would spend all my time in a single small room, eating cereal straight from the bag and generally being huddled in a fetal position, because my life would suck. It wouldn't be a good life, but it would be arguably more resource-efficient than the one I'm living now. All the same, I think I'll stay married.

A married household is also mmore likely to produce 1-10 kids, who will use up piles of environment.
Stay single, use protection, and kill enough Swarthy People to keep oil relatively cheap... or let some shrew screech in your ear for 70 years.
