I’m gonna get called a misanthrope for this – but we’ve gotta stop having children. This “Line go up”, shit of ours can’t keep going on or we’re going to starve ourselves out of existence.
I definitely get where you’re coming from, but I think population reduction comes naturally from things like abortion rights, good family planning provisions, and a lack of poverty. Countries with those things are seeing a decline in population without making having children into a moral issue.
Extra point is that, although the population is up, the amount of meat eaten is waaay up. Just looking at that one issue, we can solve over fishing pretty easily without requiring any change to the current population numbers.
I don’t think that should be the main worry. People are already having less children, below replacement in most of the developed world. Meanwhile the trend on meat consumption is going up, we should focus more on trying to stop that.

That’s okay, most people don’t want to follow the other major advice of eat more lentils, way more.
