"People’s reasons for not reproducing remain as varied as ever, encompassing the personal, political, financial, environmental or the anti-narcissistic, as in the case of John Warner, the author of the novel “The Funny Man,” who self-deprecatingly wrote in an email,
“I’m not convinced my genes are anything to wish on anyone.”"

"Childless People Win the Eco Award"
Right now, much of the public green-misanthropic attitude is still limited to fringe circles of people bold enough to be associated with such anti-human ideas. The most extreme group is the deeply perverted Church of Euthanasia (be warned: its website is disturbing), which brings the movement all the way to its logical conclusion. Its slogan is
“Save the planet—kill yourself.”
The UN’s goal is still to curb human population growth—it is just using a laissez-faire strategy to achieve that goal.
Sachs and the UN have taken on a version of the “white man’s burden” to help people in impoverished countries choose to have fewer children. . . . ."

"Go Green: Have Fewer Kids, Says Environmentalist"
"I am unapologetic about asking people to connect up their own responsibility for their total environmental footprint and how they decide to procreate and how many children they think are appropriate," Porritt said.
We have all these big issues that everybody is looking at and then you don't really hear anyone say the 'p' word.""

"Having Children is One of The Most Destructive Things You Can Do To the Environment,
say researchers
One fewer child per family can save 'average of 58.6 tonnes of CO2-equivalent emissions per year'
Eating meat, driving a car and traveling by aeroplane made up the list of the most polluting things people can do to the planet.
But having children was top, according to the new study, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters.. . ."

"The Biggest Threat To The Earth? We Have Too Many Kids"
"TODAY IS EARTH Day. For 45 years, the secular holiday has brought people—along with their ideas and enthusiasm—together to confront the world's environmental challenges. There will be speeches about sustainability, discussions about air quality, and pamphlets on how to reduce your carbon footprint. You might even learn how to help save some sub-Saharan elephants, but nobody will be addressing the elephant in the room. That's the fact that every single environmental solution is addressing the same, ugly problem: The world has to support a lot of
hungry, thirsty, fertile people.
"No question, the human population is the core of every single environmental issue that we have," says Corey Bradshaw, an ecologist at the University of Adelaide in Australia. There are seven billion of us and counting. And though people are developing technologies, regulations, and policies to make humanity less of a strain on the Earth, a number of environmentalists believe that these fixes will never catch up to the population as long as it continues to grow. The only way to save the world is to stop making more (and more, and more, and more) humans. . . ."

I am not an environmentalist, but it is interesting those that are. Just like the gun debate. They mass kill, then go to the other side and say ban guns. ODD! But not really odd, when you know these kind of individuals. They use everyone and everything to further their agenda.
- They have been operating a great divide and conquer war for sometime.
Want to address the grotesque double standards of those initiating this war. Trust me, it does not help to fuel their fire by supporting them, it only makes the fire bolder. Better to say and do nothing, than to be complicit with them.
