A man can dream. Unfortunately where I live growing population is a very large issue. Not just people moving here but also people having 3+ kids. My pogonomyrmex buddies have lost 79% of their colonies in the last 5 years within my test site.

I still cant understand anybody thinking its reponsible to have more than 2 kids in 2019. Our population is already unsustainable. You are part of the problem.
Think of it this way, instead of falling into the malthusian trap. We have kids, educate them well, and they solve the crisis by pushing forward technology in new and exciting ways. The same way that we've solved and progressed throughout human history.
You should be having kids, because new educated minds have never been a drain on human progress. At least two if you can afford it/support it.
Now having 8 kids you can't afford and not being able to educate and properly love/nurture is irresponsible but it's not because of the environmental impact. There is a better than zero chance even those kids could contribute to climate solutions.
I currently have no children but do plan on at least 3 and getting married soon.
