Re: [BLUG] environmentalism and limiting pop. growth (was NOV meeting topic)

While I understand and respect voluntary childlessness and a move
towards 0 population growth, and see the undeniable negative effects
of rampant population growth, 'Voluntary Human Extinction' is not a
cause I can see myself getting behind.

I think I'm pretty much highly motivated, perhaps culturally, perhaps
evolutionarily so, to imagine solutions where my species, and my
family, are around to reap the benefits. ;-)

The most environmentally friendly thing you can do is not create babies.
