I have American in-laws, and I care about the environment. We don't use disposable diapers, which, of course, creates an environmental problem of our own.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
American women are so fortunate. When I got married, all I wanted in the world was a dryer so I didn't have to hang up my diapers. And now women have paper diapers and all sorts of conveniences in the home. And it is the man and the technology that has made the home such a pleasant place for women to be.
I believe the American people care a lot about the environment.
One of the most important things to remember about infant care is: don't change diapers in midstream.
We have very strong environmental laws in the United States and elsewhere around the world. The problem is that they're seldom enforced.
Americans don't pay much attention to environmental issues, because they aren't sexy. I mean, cleaning up coal plants and reining in outlaw frackers is hugely important work, but it doesn't get anybody's pulse racing.
We have to do whatever we can to ensure that no child dies of diarrhea.
The day we dispose of the idea of disposability will be a great one for the planet.
You know, Californians care about protecting their environment. So do I. But they also care about that in the context of a healthy economy.
I once knew a chap who had a system of just hanging the baby on the clothes line to dry and he was greatly admired by his fellow citizens for having discovered a wonderful innovation on changing a diaper.
No one likes change but babies in diapers.
