And how about children? If you use disposable diapers, feed them cereal and milk for their formative years, buy them clothing and school supplies for 18 years (minimum) what does that all cost the environment.

The lesson here is to not buy the SUV. Pets have been scientifically proven to extend and enhance peoples' lives, their waste is biodegradable, and we can feed them (as well as our children) environmentally equable food.

This is a very narrowly focused report - get rid of disposable diapers and wash your own - goodness knows parents have done so for hundreds (if not thousands) of years before this. And take a walk sometimes, rather than jumping in the car.
