You can always tell the families with new children at home. No, not the minivans parked in the driveway (because 3 other cars are already parked in the garage). See, some of us use wagons to trick the eye or SUVs because both women and men like big trucks to scare everyone with.
No, new families are in the homes with shiny new American-sized garbage cans out front.
Green ones, 55 gallon, powered with steering wheels and a cup holder.
Like ours. Woulda bought two if the car wasn't too small.
It's interesting to think that in the U.S.A., about 4 million kids are born each year. Add to this the detail that we've been changing 10-12 diapers a day in the early goings here.
You're talking up to 30 million diapers a day in landfills! Ouch.
That's why we need everyone to start recycling newspaper, plastic, glass and aluminum, to help keep our landfills clear for all the diapers!
And don't get me started, what with living in the drought-conditioned West, regarding the water waste and chemical baths used to clean the cloth diapers.
