Rock star Dave Matthews is sharing his eco-friendly spirit with his infant son, August, by having him wear reusable cloth diapers instead of standard disposible diapers. "We use cloth diapers for our new baby because I think diapers might be the No. 3 piece of garbage [in terms of environmental damage]," Matthews said at a Live Earth press conference on Saturday. "So, if you have a little cloth diaper service nearby, that's good."
August Oliver Matthews is the third child for the musician and his wife, Ashley Harper. He was born on August 19 at the family's home in Seattle. August joins fraternal twin sisters Stella Busina and Grace Anne, who are 5 years old.
Matthews and his band performed on Saturday at Giants Stadium in New Jersey as part of the worldwide Live Earth event. Earlier in the day, he spoke at the press conference about the event and his commitment to the environment.
"It's been things accumulating over the years that sort of make you worry about what kind of world we are leaving for our grandchildren and how we face them," he said. "If you imagine in 50 years how you face your children, if you can't at least say, 'Well, we tried to turn the world around.' It's, I think, an effort we should make, and the evidence is growing."
