I appreciate having children makes it hard to think about these things straight, but producing less children really is the only way (short of killing others) out of overpopulation and all that it's doing to our planet.
The gene pool quality line of thinking doesn't lead to anything good. Our gene pool is pretty resilient to these things. If our smarts genes were easily ousted by ones procreating like rabbits, we would have gotten rid of intelligence a long time ago.
