The most impactful decision I made for myself - and our planet - was adopting a child-free-by-choice lifestyle, ensuring that my carbon legacy and ecological footprint end with me rather than extending into future generations. As I defy pronatalism and patriarchy, I find fulfillment by cohabitating with my sister whom I share a home with. My lifestyle has allowed me to continue my education and build a career that bridges social and environmental issues. And instead of investing my time into raising my own children, I invest my time into my friends, their children, and my community through extensive volunteerism.
