Another person I knew didn't want to have children because of the environmental impact. My theory is if all environmentally conscious people stop having children... Who is left to instill those values in the younger generation.

Your theory hinges on the premise that the only adults children can learn anything from are their biological parents, which is completely false.

No, it hinges on the fact that early life development is pivitol in developing children's morals/values, sense of community etc.
