Maternity Strikers, Women Who Refuse To Have Children

Over time, there have been a large number of couples who have made the decision not to have children. The reasons for this have included unemployment, inequality, inflation and the high prices of academic education.

Today, however, there is a new reason not to multiply. This applies to the environmental crisis. This implies the fact that natural resources have been wasted for a long time. Furthermore, the environments have become increasingly polluted.

This is demonstrated by one of the latest studies from the World Health Organization. It revealed that nine out of ten people breathe in harmful air. In addition , the study claimed that more than five million people die year after year from health problems triggered by the environmental crisis.

In addition, the forecasts from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) have shown that greenhouse gases by 2050 can increase by up to 50 percent. These figures also suggest that if the current rate is maintained , air pollution will be the biggest cause of premature death by 2050.

Maternity strikers, women who do not want children

For these reasons, they started the organization BirthStrike. This was a group of women and men who have all made the decision not to have children due to the environmental situation. They have made this decision because they believe that their children will be exposed to water shortages, constant fires and devastating climates.

What the group wanted to communicate to humanity was that in order for our children to have a decent future, our habits must change. In fact, their initiative has increasingly found support from many couples around the world.

On a daily basis, industries continue to use techniques that generate pollution, cut down trees and pollute wastewater. For this reason , the members of BirthStrike remained firm in their beliefs.

“I want to start a family with my partner, but I do not feel this is the time to do it,” says Blythe Pepino. She is the British woman who started BirthStrike.

However, the movement explained that it is not against people who decide to become parents. In fact, they say that their struggle is for them too. This is because their goal was for the entire population to change their actions so that the children of the future are not left in the lurch. In addition, they called on governments around the world to begin implementing measures to reverse the consequences of global warming.

Eventually, the movement was given new opinions, such as that they were against people having children, that they were not inclusive for everyone, etc. They therefore changed their name to Grieving Parenthood in the Climate Crisis.

The actions needed to curb climate change

Climate change is a phenomenon that people can counteract if they change some of their daily habits.

Initially, experts recommend using a bicycle as a means of transportation to get around. This is because bicycles do not emit CO2 and do not pollute the air.

Secondly, it is important that people save energy in their homes. This is because they continue to produce gases that pollute the environment when appliances are unnecessarily plugged in.

Finally, recycling must be encouraged. In this way, the life of the product is extended. In addition, raw materials are not wasted unnecessarily. In the same way, recycling means less use of landfill and emissions of gases. These gases cause excessive temperature rise.
