How about the greenest thing to do of all??? Have one or no children. The Earth is over seven times the sustainable population long term and soil and water is being depleted at 100 times regeneration and recharge rate, pollution is a direct function of population and is averaging 1,000 times the biosphere’s absorption rates or more, and humans are now at peak oil and have been using fossil fuels at 500,000 times regeneration rates. A balloon held up by using future generations’ necessary resources. Each child over one in essence deprives many generations of children of the future. Think of the future your child will face with water and soil loss, the loss of oil, and climate change for the worse with attendant economic hardships. To avoid massive deaths and misery, an average of less than one child per family is needed NOW.
