"May we live long and die out" is the unofficial motto of a new movement that seeks to improve the Earth's ecosystem by ensuring that the human species does not survive.
The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement, or VHEMT, consists of volunteers who have made active life decisions to remain childless for the benefit of the Earth, thereby preventing the extinction of millions of species of plants and animals.
While no one person takes credit for being the founder, Les U. Knight created its name and is the spokesperson for the movement.
"We've already exceeded Earth's carrying capacity for humans by quite a bit," Knight told WND. "We are using up our resources. The best way to stop it is by not breeding. It's really the best way because the people we don't create don't exist, and so there's no impact on them."
VHEMT activists believe a smaller population will benefit the Earth by reducing human and environmental catastrophe.
"There is no problem on the planet that would be more easily solved by adding more people," Knight said. "Everything that we like, including clean air and clean water and wilderness to go and visit, all of those will increase as there become fewer of us."
Knight said the greenest habit humans can have is to prevent creation of another member of the species, reducing humanity's ecological footprint on the Earth.

Kind of like Jim Jones and his crazies set an example? Kind of like China’s one child policy set an example? Planned un-Parenthood’s slaughter of the children? Oh, we’re paying attention alright, we really are.
And we don’t call having a family “breeding”.
You mean like Dr. Kerry N. Bary, Head of Cutter and Diggs Hospital.

Yeah. Like that! LOL!
Shouldn’t an environmental purist commit suicide for the Earth??
Pray for W and Our Troops
Well, they could go the next step and honor us by leaving.
Most people don't, but it's right there in Webster's Collegiate,
breed... vi 1: to produce offspring by sexual union
Environ-MENTAL cases!
Where can I contribute? I want as many of these people to be childless as possible.
I support them 100%. In fact, if they want to speed up helping the earth by killing themselves, I support them in that endevor as well.
I bet this Knight nut jumps for joy every time there is a natural disaster that kills thousands, and adores people like Saddam Hussein who kills millions.
The only problem is the side he roots for breeds like rabbits...
“[N]ew movement” like hell. I remember stumbling across these characters in the early days of the commercial Internet, around 1994 or so. Must be a slow news day at WND.
LOL! This is nothing new. The Dims have been doing this for 40 odd years...except they don’t include the “live long” part. Their is more like: “Live debauched, and take as many as you can with you!”
Yup—when I first read “Rainbow Six” I thought it was only a matter of time before the real Enviro wackos started to preach this stuff in public—and (surprise, surprise) here it is. Of course, this dovetails perfectly with the Homosexual agenda.
Shouldnt an environmental purist commit suicide for the Earth??
I can't tell you how much I hate these phoney bastards and their faked piety.
Greener still to just jump off a bridge and feed the fish, Mr. Knight. Anybody who claims to be an environmentalist who does not immediately off himself is a poseur.
