Greta Thunberg’s speech at the World Economic Forum today created a lot of talk about climate change and sustainability. For many people, one of the biggest aspirations in life is to have their own family but the prospect of having kids isn’t necessarily for everyone. TV presenter and naturalist Chris Packham states that abstaining from reproducing is actually a good thing, and could help to save the planet. Chris states that having too many kids leads to a higher population and thus higher consumption, which is not good for the planet. Journalist Ella Whelan suggests alternative ways to save the planet.

Not to save the planet but to save ourselves.

To save the planet IS to save ourselves since we get our resources from it.

Most energy usesage and waste is also proportionally is mostly used by the 1% so really it goes down to controlling their actions and reducing the power they have. Also they inhibit the renewable market by bribing oh whoops sorry I mean "donating" money generously to our MPs to keep on the hype train of Fossil fuels.
