    But by simply subtracting the number of kids I'd otherwise have by one, I'm preventing 21 tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere every year.

    There is simply no way to make enough lifestyle changes to offset that. I'd have to live car-free for 55 years to offset just a single year of a theoretical child's existence... and that kid is going to live for 70-100 years.
