Disposable diapers should definitely have a sin tax attached to them. A high one! And those yucky gel things should be banned from use! This way, a family may consider using only disposable diapers for 1 or 2 children, but if you start having more kids it will be financially unfeasible to use anything but cloth. The economic value of cloth if you plan to have more than a couple kids is HUGE. A one time expenditure of $300-$500 can last for 4 or 5 kids! Maybe with a booster purchase of $20-$50 just for new cute covers or supplies for each kid–just for fun. :) It definitely seems like a sin for parents with lots of kids to put all those awful disposable diapers first on their poor babies, and secondly on our earth. Of course, the diaper company lobbyists would be against this….
I am a stay at home mother to a toddler and an infant. I enjoy sewing and learning css. My greatest dream is for 70%-80% of women in the U.S. to recieve the safest prenatal and labor care available for low risk births--a midwife's care!
