That's the big one which people don't understand. The poor that has five kids is doing more harm to the planet than the rich who has only one kid.
Wife and I decided, on purpose and for that reason, to have only one kid.
And no matter what we do during our lifetime, we're polluting less than people having more than one kid. It's a fact and a simple one. Yet people simply don't understand.
My father had four kids. Today's world problems are his fault and nobody is changing my mind on that.
And don't even get me started on people having many kids for religious purposes, to conquer the world with the women's bellies (as they say): they'll get the planet they deserve.
