It's not easy being green

So, Ian and I have tried to make some environmentally friendly moves in the past...Ian went through 3 lawnmowers trying to find one that doesn't emit so much gas; even this little guy until we finally realized that the only "green" lawnmowers that they have right now are either a. annoying and inefficient, or b. really expensive. So we settled for Kurt's seconds (an extra lawnmower he had with a wobbly wheel). I think a lot of green stuff is like that. Most fall in to the second category like the new hybrid cars, organic food, biodegradable stuff, etc.
All this to say that I was thinking about diapers. Before I had Mary I considered the cloth diapering thing...but MAN is that a lot of work. Turns out, we got like a million disposable diapers from Ian's co-workers from the diaper shower they threw for us! So I'm torn (but not really), disposables are apparently pretty bad for the environment seeing as how it takes forever for them to decompose, but I have a ton of free diapers. Now, I'm all about being friendly to mother earth, but not so much that I didn't use the free disposables.
We're still using diapers we got from that shower, and still have like 15 packages left! But I'm thinking when those run out I might use these. That's pending an investigation at a nearby Kroger that supposedly sells the refills. I'm not too keen on touching her poop, but I'll take that small hit if I can make up for the hundreds of diapers I've already put in a landfill;) Plus the covers are SO cute. That's the main reason I like them I think! And you can use your own cloth diapers (which I already have) instead of buying refills. More laundry...eh. It's not easy being green.
