Do you plan to (or already have) kids?
- yes 70
- no 41
I've been wondering about this question a lot lately & may poll my broader audience on IG as well, but more specifically I'm curious who on here already has or plans to have kids? I wanted to write about children & climate change for my writing post this week. I follow a page on IG called @earthrise.studio & they posted about this topic the other day & it got me thinking. Also, if you guys are long-time YouTube watchers, the Harries twins (Finn & Jack) along with Jack's girlfriend Alice Aedy founded Earthrise to tell climate stories & I highly recommend their content! ANYWAY! Their post highlighted how 1/3 of the population are questioning having children due to the trajectory of the world. 1/3!!!!! That's wild! I've always been in the camp of having children so they can also be caretakers of the planet & learn how to adapt, survive & grown their own food. I want to pass my love of the world on to them. I saw a comment on their post from someone who actually explained my thoughts perfectly & they said "I believe I'm raising a future pioneer & caretaker of the planet. If everyone who cared about the planet/climate change didn't have kids, the future would be doomed for sure." I'm curious any of your thoughts on this if you'd like to chime in below, but if you have no separate input-- No worries! Would love if you answered the poll though! xo
