I didn't mean I want to save the planet, I just meant, why bring another life into this miserable planet knowingly and intentionally?

it's about doing something meaningful with your life

This is what I don't understand. Kudos to those who do something meaningful with their life - but why should I do it too? What if I am perfectly happy watching Netflix and sleeping 14 hours a day?

You're forgetting that everyone who came to the same conclusion as I did had already been where you are, we all walk more or less the same path.

I'm not saying everyone is the same, far from it; there wouldn't be any need to keep billions of us around if we were.

But life doesn't waste opportunities for evolution, and there's no point in having billions of people watching Netflix forever. It will find a way to get you out of your comfort zone, cooperating or kicking and screaming.
