Citing environmental concerns, Dave Matthews uses cloth diapers

Davematthews Speaking backstage at Live Earth in New York on Saturday, singer Dave Matthews said he and wife Ashley have chosen to cloth diaper their third child, son August Oliver, 3-weeks

I think diapers might be the No. 3 piece of garbage [in terms of environmental damage]…so if you have a little cloth diaper service nearby, that’s good.

Dave said that he and friend Julia Roberts — who welcomed her third child, Henry Daniel on June 18, just one day before August was born — have exchanged outfits for their new babies.  According to Dave, the decision to go green was an easy one to make after he became a father.

If you can imagine in 50 years how you face your children, if you can’t at least say ‘Well, we tried to turn the world around.’  I think it’s an effort we should make, and the evidence is growing.

Dave and Ashley already have twin daughters Grace Anne and Stella Busina, 5 1/2.
