It's not black or white. Or on and off
I don't expect all human reproduction to just stop. But cutting down on the human population by either having no children or only one, would substantially reduce the load humans place on the planet and mayne even increase quality of life. Not to mention that it would improve the chances of other species to thrive.
Sure. But your framing of not having children as "environmentally friendly", if embraced, results in only the unconscientious people having kids. That's literally the premise of Idiocracy.
