All human birth rate reduction is good for the planet.
The arguments here of whether the person was born in the UK or Kenya are pointless.
The overwhelming majority of the difficulties facing modern society are driven by too many people on the planet.
The current voluntary reduction in reproduction, unfortunately, is only going to be a drop in the bucket. Our massive overexploitation of natural resources, coupled with largely unmitigated toxic waste generation/disposal is going to lead to birth rate reduction on an unprecedented scale.
As ecosystem disruption begins to affect agricultural output, third world population will begin to feel the effects first. Then as these effects become global economic problems, warfare will proliferate.
We'll have War, Pestilence and Famine. The big three of population reduction.
In the next 100-200 years the earth will have a human population billions less than now.
