  Want to wreck the environment? Have a baby. Each bundle of joy gobbles up more of the planet's food, clogs garbage dumps with diapers, churns through plastic toys and winds up a gas-guzzling, resource-consuming grown-up like the rest of us. Still, babies are awfully cute. Given that most people still intend to procreate, what's an environmentally conscious parent to do?

  I'm glad that people are becoming more eco-conscious, but I think the last person intervieded had it right - people don't want to be freaked out and want to make changes, but are looking to make doable changes slowly over time.
