On today’s English class we read a text about a young couple who didn’t want to have children, ever. They decided that the most environmental thing to do was never having a child, because babies are not “eco-friendly”: they couldn’t ride their bikes anymore, they would have to spend more money, to waste more time, to buy food that’s not organic for the baby and they wouldn’t do enough to preserve the planet. I have to admit that this sounded a bit strange to me. I mean… babies are like gifts! Tiny, cutie little people that can always make us smile, that fill our days with happiness. I know that overpopulation is a serious problem which contributes to the loss of natural resources, hunger, pollution, etc. But this doesn’t mean that people shouldn’t have children! They shouldn’t have many children. We have to keep a balance.
That couple is, for sure, very helpful to the environment. Yes, they are really green. And it’s their choice to have or not a baby. But, it my opinion, they're depriving themselves from the best thing in the world: family.
(oh my God, who doesn't like this?)
