I view it differently now, without question. But I’ve always wanted to try and ensure that, even before having a child and hoping to have children…"
“Not too many!” Dr. Goodall cut in.
“Two, maximum!” Harry said. “But I’ve always thought: this place is borrowed. And, surely, as intelligent as we all are, or as evolved as we all are supposed to be, we should be able to leave something better behind for the next generation.”
Earlier this month, Miley Cyrus opened up about not wanting to have childrenwith husband Liam Hemsworth for the same reason, saying the couple wouldn't procreate unless huge changes were made environmentally. "We’ve been doing the same thing to the earth that we do to women. We just take and take and expect it to keep producing. And it’s exhausted," she told ELLE USA. It can’t produce."
"We’re getting handed a piece-of-shit planet, and I refuse to hand that down to my child. Until I feel like my kid would live on an earth with fish in the water, I’m not bringing in another person to deal with that...We don’t want to reproduce because we know that the earth can’t handle it."
