One Way Liberals Can Show They're Serious About Going Green

When our first was born, this is just what we did. Of course, we had a weekly diaper service that came to our door, took a bag of smelly away, and left us a bag of clean. Wouldn't've wanted to be that truck driver in a summer heat wave like now, but it was great!

My only trepidation with the plan was fasteners, knowing dutiful Dad would surely be poking my babies with the saftety pins. Modren Science to the Rescue! Velcro-closer diaper covers! Had to wash those, occasionally, when there was an over-the-top problem, but mostly it was far easier than lugging home a box of huggies. Plus, when the kid learns to stand there, unfasten the closers, let the diaper drop, and pee on it, it's a sign it's potty-training time!

Disposables are probably more biodegradable now, but initially they were not real enviro-friendly. Having an even-better alternative (and as a gift from Gramma as well), we had good little green glows inside about it.

Then we had twins. We tried the diaper service thing at first, but pretty soon we decided, parents of multiples get a pass on the whole green thing. Disposables all the rest of the way!
