    Because if we don’t have children then who are we saving the planet for? There are very clear and achievable ways to massively reduce our individual and collective emissions which we can pass onto our descendents for a sustainable future.

      Because someone else will have children. Not every human needs to procreate to keep our species alive. We’re at 8 Billion and going strong.

        So if you’re not going to have children anyway then it’s irrelevant and why not go vegan?

          So someone should only care about their progeny, everyone else is ‘irrelevant’. That’s certainly a take.

            The previous poster was suggesting that they could make a choice between going vegan and remaining childless, implying that they’re both difficult to live with. Since one option was irrelevant, there should still be the capacity to take the other.

          I don’t believe my lacking of kids means anything with regards to my eating habits. If I want to go Vegan or Vegetarian, then I will, whether I have kids or not.

            Then why did you present children as an alternative?
