When Roy Sasano told his parents he was getting sterilized a few years ago to reduce his carbon footprint, he remembers they weren’t surprised.

After all, he had already taken other steps to fight climate change by becoming a vegan, “virtually” eliminating single-use plastic and reducing his consumption as much as is practicable.

Sasano is part of the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement or Vhemt that believes in “refraining” from reproduction. “There’s scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult. And it does lead young people to have a legitimate question: Is it OK to still have children?” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of the U.S. Congress recently asked in an Instagram video.

“Personally, I can’t advocate for people not to have children in order to fix climate change because why am I fixing climate change? I’m doing it because of my child and because of everybody else’s children,” she said. “So that’s what gives us hope. Again, I’m not having 12 children. I have one child.”

Alistair Currie, head of campaigns and communications at the U.K.-based charity Population Matters, said choosing to have fewer or no children is essential to ensuring people have a “decent living” on the planet in 50 years’ time. The United Nations projects the world population will increase by more than one billion people within the next 15 years, reaching 8.5 billion in 2030, then increasing to 9.7 billion in 2050 and 11.2 billion by 2100.

Facebook Bans Faith Goldy, Other Canadian White NationalistsFacebook bans Faith Goldy, Canadian white nationalist groups, a week after saying Goldy's content was OK If she was a big white man she would have been banned already.

Groups believe not having children is a way to cut a person's carbon footprintWhen Roy Sasano told his parents he was getting sterilized a few years ago to reduce his carbon footprint, he remembers they weren't surprised. Those that actually believe that not having children to save the planet for the future are the ones that really should not be reproducing. It's a good way to weed out the abnormal in society. Who do they think they will save the planet for if people don't populate it? it's also a way to retire early. So next are we going to read an article that we should all join a cult and mass suicide is the climate answer!!? Unbelievable.
