No.
No thanks.

Scamp, you're going to have to toughen up before your first sprog. Shaking/scraping shite out of a nappy into the loo is no worse than changing the baby and being confronted with a nappy full of it. Looks the same, smells the same

It all seems rather unsavoury...

Best just not to have kids really.

I'm really in favour of people being more environmentally responsible but there must be an inbetween.

It's like changing your car when the ash tray is full. Unless you give up smoking it'll only get full again.

Re: Climate change.
We are also the only primates who use diapers, wonder what our primate cousins do.... but they do throw it but then I hear some young humans in diapers do the same sometimes.
