- austhrow743 7y agoIt doesn't end there. Kid will probably have kids that have the same lifestyle as well. Who will also probably have kids, etc.
- dvko 7y agoWhich is exactly why change is needed, not for us all to stop having any kids at all.
- dvko 7y agoWith that attitude, yes. This actually illustrates my point of changing consumption habits perfectly. We became vegetarians the moment we became parents. Not because I think our individual change will make a difference but because I want it to be a no-brainer for our kids to drastically reduce meat intake. If you don’t want to raise kids, that is fine. But don’t act like having 1 or 2 kids is ruining the planet. It is not, it’s the way we live that is.
