In this week’s segment we take on a submission from a listener in the Chicago suburbs: “I’m calling with a question regarding how much we should factor the environment into the decision to have children.”

Clean air and water, future energy and climate change are concerns for many people thinking about bringing kids into the world. We talk about these conflicting priorities with the co-founders of the group Conceivable Future.

Have a question? Send it to climate@wbez.org, and we’ll ask the experts. Include a voice memo with your name, location and question, and you could be featured on the radio!
