When we think about the different ways we can reduce our carbon footprints, our sex lives are not usually at the top of the list.

That's because most condoms are made from synthetic latex and use additives and chemicals, meaning they cannot be recycled.Dr Adenike Akinsemolu is a sustainability expert from Nigeria who advocates for living a waste-free life "The water-based lubricants, organic and vegan condoms are a good pick for having fun and embracing a sustainable sex life," says Dr Akinsemolu. "They not only cause minor damage to the environment but offer their users a great time."

Like most things we buy, packaging often leads to waste. Lauren Singer, an entrepreneur and zero-waste influencer from New York, says this is where most companies can make a difference. "I've got a monogamous partner now, but if you don't feel comfortable asking a partner to get tested before going to bed with them, then you probably shouldn't be sleeping with them at all," Lauren says.

The carbon footprint in less developed countries is much lower, with a child in Malawi estimated to be no more than 0.1 tonnes.Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speaking at the C40 summit in Copenhagen in 2019 His family has found his decision difficult to understand, although he admits as a man he may have more privileges than a woman in India around this belief.

She does not, however, argue that people should not have children. "It's not my role to endorse or question people's personal choices," she says. "It's a human right to decide freely if they want to have a child. What I'm working for is a world where children who are already alive have a safe planet and society."
