I can totally see that you are voting on that issue with your choice, however, does that mean that everyone else is doing the same?

  Like I said, I’m not claiming to be normal or abnormal, meaning I don’t know if it extends to others. You’re not providing evidence to the contrary, either, so you’re word is as good as mine.

    "This idea" is that everyone is voting, not that you personally were voting, or that I personally was voting. If you instead wanted to provide yourself as an anecdote, that's different. Sorry that I was unclear. Personal anecdotes are quite different from claiming something is a global rule. I was just trying to double-check that you were giving an anecdote.

      Ah, got it. Yes, I was just countering the anecdotes against this idea with my own anecdote for it. Thanks for clearing up the confusion.

        Excellent. Thanks. I totally agree that I have a few friends who are like you: they're very concerned about the planet and that affects their childbearing plans. Me, that affects what I eat, but it didn't change my childbearing plans.

          Having a child is the #1 thing one can do which is bad for the environment (impact), worse than driving a car, using airplane, or becoming a vegetarian. However by dietary choice you can reduce the damage, and you can also reduce the damage by educating your child with good manners concerning the environment.
