I don't want to get rid of daylight savings, because it's still a better option than keeping either summer or winter time.

Edit: another one: not having kids does not in any way contribute to solving environmental problems, we need MORE young, educated minds who have a chance to figure it out (as terrible as it sounds to push problems on the new generation), and we should ensure that in the event that we do manage to stabilize the situation, we won't instead have fucked up demographics to deal with.

I mean we already know how to solve all environmental problems its not even a science problem anymore

But hey it doesnt make enough money as killing everyone so what can you do amiright

Not having kids to solve the environmental problem is like killing a homeless dude to solve his hunger problems. Sure, you've gotten rid of the problem, but along with it, you've also gotten rid of the entire reason for wanting to fix the problem in the first place.
