Depends on what route you want to argue the planet should be saved
for, the majority of living things that form a stable eco system or
one where human beings exist in ever increasing numbers and gradually
destroy everything by the demands placed on resources.

If couples only had a maximum of 2 kids we wouldn't have a spiralling world
population, in fact it would come down a bit. Unfortunately religion and
stupidity generally lead to many cultures having far more and its not helped
when a one child policies as implemented in China are accused of being anti-
feminist or anti-woman or anti-child or some such ******** by clueless
campaigners.

Those who have not bred can claim that some of the resources that they
may using for a generous life style are those that would have been
used by subsequent generations of descendants and by not creating any
they can use a bit more themselves but overall the use of resources
will be a lot less than would have been used by an ever expanding
line of descendants.

Unfortunately the resources their theoretical descendents may or may not have
used in the future are largely irrelevant if the climate predictions are to
be believed. Its what these people are using now that matters.
