We are also childfree by choice.

Why would any rational, compassionate person bring a child into this world, given that humanity is racing toward catastrophe as fast as our little legs will run?

As a boomer, I tried to be better than my contemporaries. We have a plant-based diet, I've never owned a car, I haven't flown in years and hope never to do so again.

But the guilt for being implicated in the destruction of an entire biosphere is hard to shake off.

I try to do my best, be happy with my life, and in the mornings, write to convince people to perhaps turn back from the precipice. It kinda works.

Great article, accept claps.
