Envirowackos now want to ban diapers
Now Greens Want to Ban Diapers

As environmentalists celebrate the 34th annual Earth Day, some in the green movement are now advocating "diaper-free" babies to help save the planet.
Citing concerns about plastic disposable diapers clogging landfills and the amount of washing and detergents that cloth diapers require, many environmentalists are taking a page from tribal cultures and seeking to eliminate the use of the baby diapers altogether.
The green movement is now promoting diaperless babies as a "retro, cutting-edge, environmentally friendly scheme" to mothers throughout the industrialized world.
The green movement already has declared war on the modern flush toilet declaring it an "environmental disaster," and has instead pushed waterless "dry" toilets as an earth-friendly solution.
Former Vice President Al Gore joined the board of a waterless urinal company late last year to further the dry toilet cause and to help avert what many environmentalists believe is a looming international water crisis.
"There is a way to have a baby and NOT use diapers," says one Web site advocating diaperless babies. Parents are urged to get in tune with their infant's body signals and hold babies over toilets, buckets and shrubbery or any other convenient receptacle when nature calls.
Rest of story
Is it me or have the Greens completely lost it? Enviromentally-friendly? Haven't these people ever heard of Cholera? Supermarkets! Yeah, let's bring in a naked kid into a supermarket and let this pee in the produce!
They say you can learn to recognize when your kid is about to pee or poop. Yup, you can. Right at the moment you're covered in it. Many parents have learned the hard way there is no way to tell. Except when removing the diaper off a baby boy. That's when he has to pee. Right after it's off and your face is in the perfect position to take the stream right up your nose. Come on those of you with kids, you know what I mean. The only way I've avoided being peed on is really good reflexes.
I think I'll stick with disposable diapers. They've worked better than clother diapers for me and the cost is just part of raising a kid.
