I’m just spitballing here, but what if…… we all went vegan and stopped having children??

The problem is the system, not the head count. As AI and automation advances, the capitalist class will have no problem causing just as much ecological damage with a hundredth of the current population.

People don’t produce all that much CO2, and by stewarding (food) forests and tending gardens they can be part of an ecosystem that absorbs more CO2 than they produce. If you care enough about the environment to go vegan, you can raise your children to be net positive for the planet. That does mean destroying capitalism, including most of the automotive industry, agriculture industry, aviation industry, data centers, and more.
