Theres a million ways to help the planet and if all you can think of is making your baby suffer for the few years they wear nappies then thats sad. You can buy NEW cloth nappies although if your wondering why your baby has nappy rash then thats it! On that note , organic or non organic cotton makes no difference.The water used to grow cotton is rediculous and shouldnt be used regardless( especially if your going to go to lengths like used nappies! ) And thats the problem, Going green actually does take thought and not an idea spawned in a few moments and then forced on others as the way to save the planet! Buying used stuff for packaging sounds good, but your forgetting that for you to buy the used toy, someone had to buy it new first! So any packaging it did have in the second hand shop is added! even if its just a price sticker! Sending ecards would be good in theory but add the energy used to run the computer for the duration needed to type and send ( and then all the energy used throughout the net to deliver it, which is considerable ) buying a recycled paper card is much better. And thats the problem, going green actually does take thought, not some idea spawned in a few minutes and then forced on people as the way to save the world, Anything used is a farce,,,yes its good to save cash, which is where the real reason lies to most of those type of suggestions, and then the excuse is eco friendly to cover the persons own stingyness, there we go a new word! Dont take me for some rice farmer trying to save face I grew up with hippies! and yes I was open to many ideas that you wouldnt think of, LIKE using solar and 12 volt lighting..it costs nothing and actually does save energy...although the proccess of making solar panels is questionable..I just also look on the other side not everything in the consumer world is bad. Stop driving your car and catch a bus and use disposable nappies with a free conscience!!!! HOPE SOMEONE LISTENED USED NAPPIES???

Unfortunately, I do not happen to agree with you on the deodorant issues. Standing next to someone on the subway trying to save the environment on a hot summer day is less than awesome. However, the buying used toys is a really cool idea I never considered. Nice blog, Josh This is a great list. Unfortunately, I do not happen to agree with you on the deodorant issues.
