    Were you totally going to have children before you found out how bad they are for the climate? If not, you’re resting on literally fictional laurels. For example, maybe you planned a genocide of all black people, but then chose not to do it when you heard racism is bad. Therefore, by your logic, you prevented millions of deaths. You’re basically an anti-racist hero!

    But finally, as a childfree, carfree vegan myself, I don’t understand why you can’t just do your best

    Here’s a list of things I didn’t do, just to save the planet:

    • Have 200 children
    • Eat an entire cow every day
    • Drive 10 gas-guzzling, coal-rolling cars SIMULTANIOUSLY via remote control 24/7, 365 days a year
    • Invent the Globarzinator, a device that produces 5 BAJILLION MEGATONNES of CO2 every Planck time unit

      The environmental impact was not the ONLY reason I’m child free but it was definitely a factor in that decision. Same with being carfree. In fact I do a lot of things for not than one reason.
