A recent study found that the average age for new American parents is up to 26 for mothers and 31 for fathers, both record highs. The Onion looks at the top reasons why more Americans are putting off having kids.

Career ostensibly going to start taking off any day now.
Family members haven’t asked enough times yet.
Saving up for larger child.
Men finally getting hang of pulling out.
Desire to maintain current four-hours-of-sleep lifestyle.
Adults being more realistic about whether their genes worth passing on.
Seems pretty played out at this point.
Cuts in sex ed resulting in more couples being completely unaware of how to conceive.
Holding out for Sean to leave wife like he promised.
Want to figure out what happened to the last few first.

“Climate change: The craft brewery using algae to cut emissions”:


“Fermenting beer produces carbon dioxide (CO2), which is usually released into the atmosphere. So a craft brewery in Sydney, Young Henrys, has partnered with climate change scientists and developed a way to use microalgae to capture that CO2, and turn it into oxygen.
The brewers estimate their algae releases as much oxygen as two hectares of bushland.”
