Too many arguments are shoe-horning "environmental benefits" to artificially insert ethical justifications. It's getting a little tedious when it's equally applied to marriage, house ownership, office politics and LED lights (NYT even cited environmental benefits to being less tall).
Not being alive also has environmental benefits but it's not necessarily worth mentioning.

Although in a roundabout way because I believe it's against Reddit's rules. Anti-natalism is very strong there, though, and most will be openly hostile to anyone suggesting they want to bring more people into the world.
