extra incentive to get their youngsters potty trainedWhat parent in their right mind doesn't want their child potty trained? The problem is that too many parents try to push it before the child is physically able to do it. I would work on making diapers that are more biodegradable myself. (Is that a word? Biod?)

We use machine-washable cloth diapers (Bumpkins and Mother-Ease).
Not only are we not dumping diapers, we are also helping to potty train our children as cloth diapers do not suck the moisture away from the babies as efficiently as the disposables do. This helps the little poopers make the mental connection between the need to relieve themselves and the results.
The added work of extra laundry encourages us to take a more proactive hand in helping our children use the potty.
Unfortunately it is highly possible that the "eco-margin" is narrowed by the fact our washing machine runs more often than other households.
