The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

And they'd stop having children if they cared about the environment.

By far the single biggest thing an individual can do for the environment.

Everyone has their own opinion about this topic, but if it weren't for wanting to make the world a better place for my son, I wouldn't care as much about the climate, I probably wouldn't be vegan. I would probably still be living my life day in, day out ignoring the natural world in a grey fog.

Sustainability is a funny issue because the opposition are insisting they can sustain something that is unsustainable.
