At this moment I do not plan on having children. Mainly because I am not sure this will be a great world for them to grow up in. If i do decide to risk it though, I will stop at two, because that is the responsible thing to do. Although the population in Canada is supposed to stay as is (32,000,000 or so) for quite a long while. This is not the case in far too many other countries. China and India have each bounced past one billion with ease. We have a problem here. If there were 3 billion people on this planet do you think that we would be in the same environmental situation? I think not.

I completely agree with you. My husband and I are not planning on having any children either. Here in the U.S. it’s become the norm to have three, four or even five kids. In fact, most of the wealthy executives at my company have at least five children. It’s crazy — people breed without any thought to how bringing another person into the world impacts the worlds resources. The worst is when they talk about how environmental they are without a hint of irony.
