Diapers No More!

So this blog thing...It's everywhere. I was reading my local paper as I do everyday and I read an article “Senator mired in bathroom incident denies guilt.” I read the article describing an embracing and perplexing situation for Sen. Larry Craig regarding an alleged bathroom sexual rendezvous. The last sentence reads, “Mike Rogers, who bills himself as a gay activist blogger, published the allegations on his Web site, www.blogactive.com, in October 2006.

Then as I read the local section and the letters to the editors I noticed a column devoted to blogging. I’ve read the column before but I never knew it was from my paper’s blogging site. Apparently local citizens comment on past and current articles online in a blogging form and the paper reproduces those blogs in the actual newspaper itself.

Blogging is still so new to me. Even my Microsoft XP Edition 2003 keeps underlining the words “blogging,” “blogs,” and “blog” in red. Microsoft’s confused and so am I. What a conundrum.

But I am enjoying the jump off into a blogging jetliner.

I wanted to blog with all of you today regarding another article I read in my paper. The paper I read is a sister publication of the North County Times. The article was “Diaper-free movement draws skepticism.” I read the article and became excited.

I became excited because anyway to reduce, reuse, and recycle the planet makes me happy and gleeful. If mother’s and father’s across the US adapted this new trend then the landfills would be filled with that much less diapers. Also individuals or families could utilize the savings from not purchasing diapers for other items in the economy. As humans we must always look for ways to be more efficient. Efficiency is key to a healthier planet, both physically and mentally.

Diaper companies would have to restructure. Most diaper companies are controlled or owned by larger companies. For example, Pampers the diaper brand is owned by Proctor and Gamble. These companies are typically massive and can utilize the reduction of diaper sales to develop other products or focus on their current products.

In the end the human baby becomes more independent with having to learn how to utilize a conventional toilet at a faster rate.

Although I wish a massive grass roots movement would take off and within five years individuals and parents would not be using diapers if possible. Most likely only a few parents will decide to make a statement and have diaper free babies.

I guess I’ll stop wearing my diaper...LOL
