Show me a scientifically conducted survey that indicates that childless people are less likely to care about the future of the planet. Until you can do this, I call "bullshit" on this argument. I'm a social worker/HIV case manager. I care about our world, our society, and the future of our planet. And I have chosen not to procreate. I have quite a few friends who are currently childless and may decide to not have kids. Almost all of my friends care about the future of our planet and are actively involved in social justice causes. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
