No, the 'number one' way to help the planet is to not have children, undeniable fact. Diet is number two
I think the assumption is that he's talking about people changing their diets. Can't / probably shouldn't advocate for parents getting rid of their children.
That said, there are probably more direct actions one can take for our ecology that eclipse consumer choices.
not parents getting rid of their children; people not having them in the first place
That's a lot of absolutism for someone not specifying a defining context.
No definition of "help", "the planet" or "diet" means it's wide open to contra-examples.
I feel like not having kids kinda defeats the purpose of saving the planet
Actually, deposing the wealthy is #1, no children #2, and diet #3.
I've not had 20 kids, so now I get to eat a bunch of animals, and fly a bunch of private jets, and roll coal all day long!
Also, your decision to eat meat in a western country DOES actually cause as much damage as some entire families existence in the poorer countries like Nigeria.
