Hi John,

Even with access to contraception, deciding whether and when to have children is anything but simple, especially these days.

In fact, a new survey finds that a third of Americans believe climate change may compel people to choose to have fewer children. And 73% agree that population growth is driving wildlife to extinction. 

The Center for Biological Diversity has teamed up with filmmaker Maxine Trump to share her documentary To Kid or Not to Kid, which explores family planning, the decision to be child-free, and how these choices are connected to the environment.

To watch the film, sign up through midnight tonight. You’ll receive a link to watch it for free anytime through Feb. 18. Then join the filmmaker and Center staff for a Saving Life on Earth webinar on Thursday, Feb. 18 at 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET. The webinar will feature a discussion and Q&A with the filmmaker, the Center’s Population and Sustainability Campaigner Kelley Dennings, and Kristie Duff from Women Deliver. We'll learn how to support those deciding whether and when to have children and how to advocate for universal access to all methods of contraception. 

You need to register to participate in the webinar, so sign up and then check your email for a link. We hope you can join us for this special event.
